Hello, it looks like the betas and rcs get to little testing and we end up with a couple of issues found and quickly fixed post-release. It sure would be nice to have a dot-release incorporating these changes but exim has only done this for security issues. I guess it is a matter of resources, having somebody who selects the interesting patches and makes a follow-up release from it. For Debian I have cherry-picked rather broadly because there is wider user base.
