Mike,

Making bug-fix releases is an essential part of professional software development. Jeff is right - it is the professional thing to do. Unfortunately, most Sage developers do not have a background in software engineering, so do not appreciate that.

As for motivation, these two links might give you some thoughts. There's some very useful responses on the first link.
