I guess you're missing the point of the original suggestion here.
It was proposed to abandon full releases (3.0.3, 4.0 and so on), but
_only_ update individual RPM's. _That_ would make integration testing
impossible (something that is possible today with the concept of releases,
to which fixes belong) and was therefore rejected by the Red Hat people.
