That might help testing, but forced upgrades also cause serious problems for our users. The reality is that there will be bugs in any code we put out - some of them we will know about, some of them we won't. That is why 0.5.0 won't be our last ever release. Doing a point release is necessarily about compromize, and taking a chance. Doing a point release for which we would like some publicity raises the stakes of taking that chance - but this is unavoidable.
