I have to agree with you here that a longer version cycle with bug fixes 
released at shorter intervals would be to my mind preferable.  However I 
suspect there may be some important (to RR) financial reasons for following 
the cycle they currently use.  That in itself may well make their current 
method desirable to us though we may not realize it....
