maybe one of the reasons now is that you can install 8.0-R and have it upgraded to the latest known patch level using binary updates with freebsd-update(8), which takes only a few minutes to complete.

No information? There's a whole chapter dedicated to updating in the handbook.

Every FreeBSD release includes an ISO of DVD % CD for convenience purposes. Most of the times I used to install FreeBSD I would only carry the boot_only image with me and continue from there over the Internet.

A release CD or DVD also contains quite some ports/packages. For a new release these ports/packages need to be build. If they created a new RELEASE cd/dvd for every patch this would also mean a ports freeze for a while. Not really what you want.
