In short -- the package is still being tested, and getting its testing via
real-world use in Fedora. Since this is the case, it's good of the package
maintainers to release the frequent updates they do, since it'd be
significantly worse to be testing in production yet be stuck with all of the
original bugs and not just the new ones.
