New releases for bugfixes

You don't need to. The app can just check the latest bugfix for that
version on git
and install it if it isn't installed. I don't understand why you stress the
need for the
package manager to have anything to do with the update if it's just a bug
fix.

Ok, I think I get your point. Some libraries add/remove/replace features
and KDE
projects may be using macros to make all library versions work. I hadn't
thought
of that.

So the teensy weensy security risk is suddenly a huge deal and when I try
to fix it for you I'm talking nonsense?

It's like 30 megabytes.

If you got a notification saying "Minor bug fix released for Kate. Would
you like
to install an update without using the package manager?", would it be so bad
that you would drop KDE? Because that's all I was suggesting (only without
the
"without the package manager" part because I was just communicating my
point).
