I believe that was me :)

Frequent releases set off alarms in system admins minds, frequent
releases give the view of unstable/unreliable software, and that is the
largest cause of movement to an alternative.
I've stated my thoughts many times over the years...
x.major for new features
x.major.minor for bug fixes
trunk snapshots for the x.major "new stuff" as a use at your own risk
public release candidates advertised and made available for x.x.minor
"bug fixes" before any vote - this allows bug reporter to test further,
and time to see if the fix has introduced other problems before going
mainstream, but should exclude very critical security hole plugging,
which should go straight to release vote.
