To me it boils down to one simple question: is an update to a package on
CRAN more likely to (1) fix a bug, (2) introduce a bug or downward
incompatibility, or (3) add a new feature or fix a compatibility problem
without introducing a bug? I think the probability of (1) | (3) is much
greater than the probability of (2), hence the current approach
maximizes user benefit.
