It is often the case that a lot of bugs are found in release candidates
as people are reluctant to upgrade and test until then.  Ideally we'd do
bugfix releases (1.3.1, 1.3.2 and so on) in parallel with more major
releases (1.3.0, 1.4.0) but we don't have the developer time to do that
well, so I think the current approach although flawed is tolerably good.
I'd rather see more frequent releases though.
