[pmwiki-users] pmwiki-2.1.beta21 released

I'd really like to be able to update my wikis from 2.0.12 to one that
includes the new AuthUser, RSS and wildcard functionality, but whatever I
next update to, I'd like it to be stable enough that I could hold there for
a while.  Do you ever try, during the beta development process, to release a
few that just implement a bugfixes without adding new functions, as a way to
create a fairly bugfree between-real-realease version?

If you normally don't, is it something you'd consider?  (Is there a better
way to express this?) Is this a reasonable question, or does it pretty much
conflict with the point of beta development?

Thanks!
