Well, I don't know how Rails works, but for Python, yes, of course we don't
want Python upgraded to an ABI-incompatible version (say, from 2.6 to 2.7)
in updates! If you thought I was asking for that kind of updates (which
require rebuilding half of the distro!), you misunderstood me!
On the other hand, point releases (as in 2.6.n to 2.6.n+1) ARE "only bug
fixes" and as such SHOULD get pushed.
