Desktop (Gnome) updates AppStream?

Just installed 8.2 and noticed there were no updates to Gnome packages. Also looking through the modules I see no new alternative packages available there. It was my understanding that with AppStream it would bring more timely updates to Gnome so we're not stuck using two plus year old desktop functionality. Thought I maybe even heard every other point release or similar in some post? I cut-over to RHEL 8 on my desktop at work in anticipation. Is there a formal version release strategy published anywhere regarding desktop components?
