To be honest, our commercial interest in bugfixes is simply higher than getting new features. So, I expect integrating a bugfix-only release to be much less effort (in terms of porting our own modules, patches, additional testing scrutiny) than a release that re-works internal core functionality like the request handling for the sake of adding a new feature like the entirely new support for h2. But I am equally genuinely curious what would make "other people's lives and jobs *more* difficult".

Not being a native speaker I am not sure I understand your question correctly. Can you please elaborate that question a bit? Regards, Micha
