Is it me or Linux kernel releases becoming more frequent?

It is you. Since 2005 (early days of 2.6), there has been four to five major releases per year. 3.4 is the second release for this year, so it seems to continue the trend almost perfectly.
They've been at a pretty steady pace since they decided to go all in on the "release early, release often" thing with 2.6. 3.0 is 2.6.40, after all.
The second number is changing more frequently now, instead of the third.
