Are these updates just bug fixes or do they also contain new features / enhancements. Having a little more description in the commit will help the morty maintainer determine if any of the updates are suitable to backporting.
They're both. The updates in master happen not because of specific features or bugfixes, but simply because we want to stay as close to upstream as possible at all times, because there is less pain in many incremental updates as opposed to single massive updates that jump over a lot of code changes.
If stable releases want to do recipe version updates, the correct way to do that is to have automatic regression testing on every level, from oe-core all the way to the product image. Manually analyzing git log output and summarizing release announcements or whatnot for all of oe-core packages is labour-intensive and error/omission prone for everyone involved.
