Wait, why would releasing a patch be less of a work or less of a responsibility
than releasing a version including that patch?
Would that be less serious than a release?
Would that not require exactly the same amount of manual work?
Shouldn't that manual work be almost 0 for a group of people who
pride themselves knowing a language used in almost all the CM
systems for build and release automation?
