I also think that you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who does 
development like that, proprietary or open source. It's not uncommon to 
have bugfix only releases, but having a new features release that 
doesn't fix any bugs is, in my experience, unheard of.

Also, I'd be STRONGLY against it, because I have a fix bugs first 
mentality, and if you find a bug while implementing a new feature, it 
should be fixed.
