I understand the trivial update more as trivial change in a SPEC file,
not a new minor upstream release. Maybe it needs more clarification.
For example a typo fix in description field in a SPEC file, it's
definitely not worth to issue an update and disturb user with an
update. And yes, sometimes even typo could be a reason for update
if it misleads users in a bad manner (not likely).
The second part is clear - if the release fixes only Windows build
issue, no reason to update and I expect our maintainers are clever
enough not to update it ;-)
