Another reason to release 0.4.1 is to allow the additions that warrant 0.5.0 to have more validation before release. With a regular release cycle, features can go in at the beginning to have more time for catching bugs in them. I also agree with what Sean said below.

Is there a reason to not just cut a 0.5.0 instead of grafting 0.5.0
features onto 0.4.1?



This is a good question.

Some downstream users might have different change processes for a patch vs
minor release, so making a 0.4.1 that fixes what we determine to be a
substantial gap in the 0.4 line would be nice for them.

While we might be a young project now, it would be good to already have the
habit practiced for when we have more users in enterprise settings.

On the other hand, 0.4.0 just happened, so a release in 3 days would
minimize the number of "stuck on 0.4.0" folks.
