I'm in favor of it.  Frequent releases let the project adapt to changing 
circumstances and fix critical bugs before they scare off potential new 
adopters.  Many successful projects have frequent releases -- one I can think 
of in particular is hudson, which has a release every week.

So long as the changes are well documented and there's a good (passing) test 
suite (both of which are the case with buildr), there's no need for months to 
elapse between releases.
