Coming back to this, I think the main question is: what does our versioning scheme mean? Personally, I would expect a 0.16 release to come with new features compared to 0.15.x, and a 0.16.1 release to fix the bugs that these features (and other changes) have introduced, without changing too much of what makes up the 0.16 release series. I know that we've rarely followed that distinction (we sometimes didn't even have point releases), so it doesn't really matter what we add in 0.16.1, I guess. I just thought I'd bring up the question what would make a 0.17 release different from a 0.16.1 release. So far, it appears to have been more of an issue of how much time has passed since the last release, which usually goes hand in hand with a substantial set of changes.
