That's a non-API release 5 months after the API release.

6.10.2 was 5   months after 6.10.1 (.3 was 1 month later, .4 a further 2)
6.12.2 was 4   months after 6.12.1 (.3 was 2 months later)
 7.0.2 was 3.5 months after  7.0.1 (.3 was 1 month later, .4 a further 3)
 7.2.2 was 3   months after  7.2.1
 7.4.2 was 4   months after  7.4.1
 7.6.2 was 4.5 months after  7.6.2

so if we do non-API releases, then perhaps it would make sense to stop
doing minor releases (unless a release turns out to just be broken).


Thanks
