We already talked about uploading GNOME point updates to stable-update
during a TB meeting some months ago. While those versions are mostly bug
fixes changes, they are less conservatives as pointed by Jeff. Doing
those updates requires some work to review the changes and try the
packages before uploading and Daniel and I are really pretty busy to
keep with the current versions/bug triage/patching/etc.
