After upgrading to 3.5.13.1 and getting a bunch of new

I ran aptitude update this morning. I had no updates. So had nothing to
upgrade.

started thinking it might be a good idea to release new packages
continously as changes are made to the code,
Slávek has been doing that. Hence my lack of updates/upgrades this morning.
instead of doing a big release
once every few months. I realize there are some major changes going on in
the code and they cannot be released partially. Still I think that thanks
to git's branching and merging capabilities it should be possible to merge
some smaller changes and bugfixes into master and release them as update.
Woludn't that be an easier way to track new bugs introduced to the code?
Instead of getting a whole load of bug reports after a major release, bugs
would be reported as they appear and would be easier to track down to
conrete packages and changes made in the code.
Those who want to do so, can use Slávek's patches; those who don't want to use
the patches, can have it all as one great big splodge.
Best of both worlds.
