True for MD. I was referring to a general rule that seems to work well
with lots of different software packages, and extrapolating it to MD.
Also, it would seem as though a 'few MD updates' per year would get to
.3 also, but perhaps late in the yearly cycle. The idea was that a
very stable release would appear just before it will be replaced by a
less stable new version.
