Frequency of fixes? Time required to make the release? Storage? While most of the commits on bugfix are safe to include into release (see https://orgmode.org/worg/org-maintenance.html#branches), sometimes we do introduce new bugs on bugfix. As a recent example, see the fixup! commit on https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/log/?h=bugfix where I had to fix an accidental breakage on older Emacs versions that I introduced in the previous fix. Doing the releases too frequently will increase a chance of such bugs crawling into ELPA releases. So, there should be at least a minimal waiting period to get a chance to handle such problems. Sometimes, we also need to fix critical bugs - these may be tricky and require some more testing before exposing to wide public. That's why there should be some not-too-long and not-too-short interval between bugfix releases. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at .
