Ok about this particular aspect, there are some sponsors that require
the have a new revision each "iteration" (sponsoree RFS, sponsor
replies, sponsoree needs to do changes to package), others that do not
want this, others that adapt to both situations.

So you're wrong thinking this is a general recommendation or wide used
(something like a "should" or "must"), but you're right thinking it's
a recommendations sometimes done, that you might *consider* doing as
long as your sponsor agrees
