Something about which I am ignorant:<br>
Which changes require new releases and which do not.<br>

Libraries that require a ABI change generally aren't pushed as updates. Major changes such as the new installer, switch to systemd init system, major new versions of GNOME etc are only introduced in a new release. The general idea is to strike to a balance between providing new features to end users vs not being disruptive. <br>
