You're probably right.
I just fear that the downside of that may be that people start more to
care about the version and the last release date in the first place.
These are important things but the real benefit comes from complete
updates including features XEPs and so on.
Updating a project should always be as accurate and complete as
possible. And if we just approve minor version updates we run the risk
that an entry "looks" up to date only.
That is why I'm in doubt.
Maybe we should just go ahead an try.
