Difficult question. "Definitly more often" would be my first answer.
a) when I recall the CSS-IE7-bug (sympa wasn't useable with IE7) which
could be easilly fixed by using the svn-trunk-css file, then I still
don't understand why a bugfix-release was never completed.
b) I've seen it once or twice that between two stable releases bugs were
fixed in the same file... so bug #1 was fixed in list.pm, two weeks
later bug #2 was fixed in list.pm. If one wasn't affected by bug #1, the
patch to bug #2 could not easily be applied, since line-numbers had been
changed by the fix for bug #1.

Installing a release and applying all the patches of the last month that
happen to be mentioned on sympa-users just isn't fun.
