So the presumption was that there won't be more than about 50 bugfixes
before the next "primary release". I suppose that has been true
historically speaking with respect to the Debian packages, though the
three number versioning scheme would avoid the whole concern.
To a large extent how many bugfix releases we could make in a year or
so will depend on how the developers want to handle the "bugfix only"
testing process. Will it be the same process as for a "bigger"
release, or can it be handled differently since the changes allowed
are much more restricted?
A related question is what relevance/relationship (if any) should the
Debian release process have?
(In Debian, we normally release a new package as soon as we have a
fix, it goes to unstable, and then it waits there for a time. If
"nothing goes wrong" with it or anything it depends on during that
time, then that package migrates to testing for eventual inclusion in
our next stable release.)
