Why does this module have such frequent official releases?

I am posting this as a result of a discussion on the development list (http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/development/2008-May/029947.html and thereafter), because I noticed that this module seems to be creating new official releases very frequently, sometimes after every CVS commit.

This is not meant to be accusatory or to single this module out (I am posting similar messages at other modules too)! Rather, it's part of an informal "survey" to gather some information to help figure out why module maintainers are doing this and whether there are any structural issues related to Drupal's release management system involved in the decision to do so.

So my basic question is this: Are you aware that the recommended practice is to only release new official versions (as opposed to auto-generated development snapshots) somewhat infrequently, usually after a number of bugfixes in the issue queue have been accumulated (with the exception being security issues and extremely critical bug fixes)? And is there a particular reason that you seem to have followed a different policy for this module?

Thanks very much for your time!
