I wouldn't say it is dumb, I would say it is conservative.
Can you off-hand provide a list of which of our ~10 000 packages have a
'maintained bugfix only branch with regular releases' policy?
I would expect it is less than 5%. Granted, this may include a number of
large/important packages. But, I can also post some counter-examples:
-samba (but, it may be useful to have some not-strictly-bugfix changes, as
some are 'compatability with the new SP of some other popular OS')
-openldap

</I>
I think some of the existing policies may have been done in haste. IMHO, there
should be a policy on policies, covering how they are agreed upon, how
amendments are agreed up etc.

</I>
Please provide a proposal for changes to the policy.
