For unstable, yes.  But they're not all that cheap for stable -- I
mean, I'd expect many users to update to a new stable version.  But
there's absolutely no functional difference between 2.12.3 and the
hypothetical 2.12.4.  The only difference is in the source, doc, and
web doc.

This seems like the perfect candidate for a -2 release number.
