That is not latest, that is bug fixes. That is the whole point of 
changing process : being able to publish bug fixes without new 
features, so users don't need to wait mounth to get their bug 
fixed and get bunch of unrelated stuff with the fix that may 
introduce bugs as well.

I took this precise example, but I'm not suggesting that a 
revision is made for EVERY bug fix. Only for severe bugs 
(regressions, corrupted codegen, . . .) or when the quantity is 
judged enough.
