I hope that didn't sound like a chip on my shoulder.  Obviously I release
versions when I think they are worth releasing.  Either because of a bug fix,
a new feature, or a change that seems worth releasing.

Everyone assumes that version N+1 is way better, even though version N was
released 2 hours ago.  But once they see N+1 on the servers, they make the
assumption, even though quite often N+1 has _zero_ changes so far.

My answer was simply an honest statement.  I release a new version when I
am happy with it.  Until I am, I fiddle with it until it passes muster.
