There are two big advantages to smaller, incremental releases: 1) because of the nature of the "patch" program, smaller changes are much more likely to merge in without any manual intervention, and 2) with more frequent releases bug fixes can be incorporated as they come up, improving the signal-to-noise ratio on this mailing list. I would prefer smaller, more frequent updates. As it is we're pretty much guaranteed to have to manually incorporate any updates because the changes they represent are such a large leap from the previous revision.
