Many, many committers continually add bug fixes to releases - check the commit logs. I can't speak for everyone, but I think that many of us are sitting here waiting for a new release so that this can become more of the process that people are pushing - including trying to encourage people to use the releases - instead of just the trunk - which seemed to be something you were asking for earlier.
So, be behind this - it's in your best interests and what you've been clamoring for - instead of just trying to be "right" all of the time ....
