I have been observing problems with the

Because applications are not branched along with

released, new versions of applications are typically pulled in.
I'm not sure what you mean by "typically" here but I don't see the
need
to automatically release an application whenever a bug fix release of XE
is made and I don't think our release managers do this.
Let's take for example the administration application which is included in each
release of enterprise.

v1.33
So in the last three versions, every time except for 1, this was the practice.
If an
application has bug fixes too and these bug fixes are compatible with
the bug fix release of XE then yes, otherwise the application needs a
branch.
Branching to keep bug fixes to backport separate from regular development is a good idea,
but in
I only see 4
branches have
ever been made.
