idea for versioning Gambas3

Type             : Request
Priority         : Low
Gambas version   : Master
Product          : Development Environment


Description
-----------

I've been thinking ... and I take the audacity to ask you the following idea. capable I'm wrong, because I don't know how you handle the prawn versions.
seeing that prawns 3.16 has been one of the most problematic versions, if not the most problematic.
It occurs to me that the following could be done.
for example, between now and December of this year, launch two more versions only with bug fixes, nothing to add new things. type 3.16.2 and 3.16.3 this last in December and will represent the most stable version of the stable version of prawns, then in the period January to June 2022 introduce all kinds of innovations (version 3.17). and so on, achieving with this plan, really stable versions of prawns.
3.17 (introduce all kinds of innovations), 3.18.1, 3.18.2, 3.18.3, the latter being the most stable, etc.
3.19 (introduce all kinds of innovations), 3.20.1, 3.20.2, 3.20.3 .....
I hope not to offend with this approach, greetings
