Replying to the message starting the thread because I forgot something 
important at least from the openSUSE perspective: what we call "maintenance 
updates". 

Starting recently the KDE team at openSUSE is also managing to push minor 
releases of the latest stable SC included in the distribution. The rationale 
is that the number of bugs fixed between minor releases is *always* 
signficant and doing branch diffs is way more costly from a time and human 
perspective.

However the issue is that this may be problematic in case of shorter 
releases.

Again, I really don't want to sound negative or dissing the proposal: what I 
mean to say is that there are /doubts/, rather than absolute certainties. 
We're happy to be proven wrong, in fact. ;)
