I wasn't trying to tell him to work on something other than what he's
doing, and that's not where this thread came from.  It started with the
perennial comments about distrowatch, and I mentioned they haven't liked
listing our package updates and just want ISO releases, which is obviously
foreign to how we and other modern distros do things.  Seth asked again why
we don't just put out a new ISO release out with each new tarball, and here
we go again.
