I do agree on this.  However, 0.9.6a is not just one bug-fix, it's the
sum of the bug-fixes since the release of 0.9.6, so it's a little bit
bigger than it would usually be, and since bug-fixes might generate
new bugs, a full release cycle is needed...

Basically meaning Linus and the guys got more experienced with time.

Touché!
