Stability within a release version is a good goal.  You never want things 
to _stop_ working when you put out a patch.  If a developer wants the 
latest version of something they can put it on themselves.  (Especially if

it is open source.)  If they are relying on the version that is installed 
for some reason, you don't want to surprise them by changing it 
unexpectedly.
