Yeah, it's something I wanted to add for some time. I don't think it's
entirely fair to compare with the sound card thing. I see your point
however.

No disagreement in releasing more frequently; the problem this cycle is
that we keep on adding more and more stuff. Let me try to get 0.5.9rc2
out tomorrow and if things look good we can do 0.5.9 a few days later
and move on to 0.5.10.
