I want to raise the question about stable django micro-releases.

1.1 - July 2009,
1.1.1 - October 2009 (released because of security bug),
1.1.2 - May 2010

So if some abstract developer want to use stable django release and
follow all the instructions in docs he can get the half-year outdated
django with a number of known bugs that are already fixed in svn.
Please also consider what happen with the csrf_token template tag: it
is in 1.1.2 to ease the migration to 1.2 but 1.1.2 is released
alongside with 1.2 and not before 1.2. The most logical time for 1.2-
preparing 1.1.2 release could be a feature freeze for 1.2 (months
before the 1.2 release).

I think the releases of stable micro-releases should happen more often
for 1.2. You guys are doing great job and it is not good to hide it
from developers.

This is also can be solved with a bit of documentation. If the release
process is time-consuming and is a waste of developers' time then
there is an another way: add the suggestion to use stable svn branch
somewhere in docs. This may be obvious for somebody that there is a
stable django branch in the svn but I'm sure there are a lot of
developers who don't know this.
