You run into complacency dangers if you end up in a "release very

a critical security bug is found, , normal bug fixes releases will be
only once per month if need be, take dovecot, not so bad now days but
in years gone by, it too released weekly or bi-weekly and a lot of
people got pissed and stopped updating it too.
I’m not understanding your point - you’re saying normal bug fix
releases once a month is fine, but us doing so after 5 weeks isn’t
fine?
absolutely not! I personally only update phpmyadmin once, on initial
major release, because I (like many others) were so of updating it every
few days .
We’ve just released HTTP/2 support for the very first time. People
want to use it, people want to see problems in it fixed. I don’t see
the number of releases as excessive at all.
You obviously dont manage very many public facing servers then, I have
that advantage of looking at it from both sides, when I do testing - I
test based on what sys admins want.
