Okay. I do somewhat suspect that you're making rather a lot of work for
yourself in that case with all those minor releases that probably won't see
much use, but far be it from me to suggest how you should spend your time
:-)

Overall, I'm very happy with this approach, and with your readiness to
engage in substantive discussion around API stability, scheduling, and the
like. Thanks so much for your great work!
