It's a good point though I would resolve it differently. I would suggest
that we make it so that you don't actually have to upgrade to each minor
bug fix release if the first one you picked worked ok for you. Then we
only ask users and distros to upgrade (and thus rebuild everything)
every 6 months (or perhaps 4).

Okay. I do somewhat suspect that you're making rather a lot of work for yourself in that case with all those minor releases that probably won't see much use, but far be it from me to suggest how you should spend your time :-)

Overall, I'm very happy with this approach, and with your readiness to engage in substantive discussion around API stability, scheduling, and the like. Thanks so much for your great work!
