I like the daily upgrades and keeping up with what is new of fixed. If I
had the opposite view, such as Michael's above, I simply wouldn't upgrade
all the time; I would upgrade when it suited me. If you believe it to be
 absurd to be upgrading daily as I do, then do not - upgrade on your own
terms. I believe that it is not one individual responsible for such a rate,
rather each developer finishes their upgrade at a  certain point and pushes
it into the stream, and it is the machine that pushes out an upgrade after
so many contributions. I don't think you can change it without pissing off
those who want it. No one said that you had to keep up; just go at your own
pace.
