Um, so you're like, I'm telling you something you're not ready to accept.
Also, you're uncomfortable with the very fact that I'm telling you just
anything.  Okay.

So you refer to a piece of anonymous bytestream written out there.
By a wanker.  Don't you even believe it?  I should have pressed
multiple C-W right here.

Still a better rule is: when you make a change to a package,
the release must be bumped in a straightforward way.  Dot-minor
release are for non-essential changes (e.g. specfile-only changes)
and automatic rebuilds.
