If it's going to cause a problem for someone, then I withdraw the suggestion. We (Kubuntu) go through the updates that come after our release and only use the ones with actual code changes so that users don't have to download a bunch of packages that only change version number, so it would simplify things for us, but I definitely agree with the idea of being careful about not breaking people's assumptions in a point release. Is this something we could consider (looking ahead) for 4.9?
