Hello,
Now that the dust has settled after 3.1's landing ... ;-P
I would like to request consideration of minor point releases addressing minor bugs, niggles and cosmetic issues during the life of a production version. I'm thinking of things like the 'GetSimple Upgrade needed' bug that was discovered immediately after the release of 3.0 and remained for all new downloads of that version for the best part of a year.
I know that these things are pretty small in the scheme of things, but they do reflect disproportionately on the quality of the whole package. I'm not sure that "Oh, you can ignore that warning." is a reasonable response. ;-) I'd emphasis that these would only be for minor fixes, so as to minimise the risk of introducing other problems and (ideally) wouldn't trigger an upgrade warning.
