       Opinions welcome: I've done 3 releases of fwupd in the last month. On the plus side bugfixes go out to users quickly, and new hardware gets supported faster. On the negative side it increases the amount of work distro packagers are doing and also means there's less of a *splash* of new stuff with each point release.Comments?

       @hughsie If the burden for distro maintainers is simply pushing the code changes and not big changes like new dependencies, then it sounds good to get hardware supported quickly. Especially as fwupd likely receives a lot of internal testing already, so I don't think distro maintainers will have too much work.

       @hughsie Another effect of "many small releases" might be being able to tell what broke something faster. Because it's only a few things that got changed, not the whole world.
