As a straw man, let's suppose we want to do annual API releases in September, with intermediate non-API releases in February.
That's a non-API release 5 months after the API release. 6.10.2 was 5 months after 6.10.1 (.3 was 1 month later, .4 a further 2) 6.12.2 was 4 months after 6.12.1 (.3 was 2 months later) 7.0.2 was 3.5 months after 7.0.1 (.3 was 1 month later, .4 a further 3) 7.2.2 was 3 months after 7.2.1 7.4.2 was 4 months after 7.4.1 7.6.2 was 4.5 months after 7.6.2 so if we do non-API releases, then perhaps it would make sense to stop doing minor releases (unless a release turns out to just be broken).
