I believe that 0.6.1 as it stands is only a "bugfix" release in terms of the beacon. If people's sites work fine without it, they can continue to use whatever version they have without issue. If we were to do as you say and make the 0.0.x significant only for security updates, then the next release version from the current makaanga 0.x branch should be 0.7. Releasing 0.7 now screws with our roadmap. I should put "roadmap" in quotes, though. More importantly, it also implies that our version numbers will escalate much more quickly as typos and minor bugs will merit a full minor version bump. My final impression is that someone needs to say what we should do, instead instead of saying what we should not do. We should decide on this very quickly, everyone should understand how it will be implemented, and it should be very clearly documented so that we never have this discussion again. Whatever we decide, we should not delay much longer in releasing. Some of the bugs that were fixed significantly impair the major features that we advertised in 0.6.
