I recommend monthly minor releases so that people who write code
that links to guile can always say "upgrade to version 1.6.62"
until another major version comes around.

I've had some frustration where I send fixes in, not to guile
specifically, and it takes the library maintainers up to six
months to finally include the fix and release a new version. This
caused me a lot of stress in the past.
