Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Dev branches reflecting minor/major versions,
 not bugfixes

I'm thinking the low-impact ones aren't really worth releasing a
bugfix version for 1.6.1. They can be rolled up and included in a
minor release. I figure 1.6.1 can wait until we find a "you really
should patch this if you're using 1.6.0" kind of bug, vs. the "this
isn't serious, but you might find it annoying to deal with" kind of
bug.
