[MlMt] Lack of Public Updates

[Blayne Puklich]

Maybe one way to handle this is to just make an official release and not 
publicize it? That way it’s out there, Mailmate looks “active” for 
whatever that means, and you shouldn’t get inundated with incoming 
email.

If you can figure out how to change the release model from the frequent 
beta releases to frequent public updates, it’ll probably be about the 
same amount of emails and work. Make sense? I have pieces of software 
that are constantly being updated and it doesn’t look to like it’s 
unstable or weird in any way. It’s normal these days.

          I'd explain it to you, but your brain would explode.
