Less important then the quality of said releases and the overall
importance of the Debian project in the free software movement.
> * How important are regular stable point releases for the project?
They are useful for the users with little to no connectivity and need to
be done from time to time.
> * Should we fix up dak to allow point-releases for old-stable?
Not if it requires significant work. I see little point in this, but if
someone sees more reason to do this and has the coding ability, then it
cold be done.

No, I do not think it is required to speed up our releases more.

No, IMHO "when it's ready" is more then appropriate with a guide of one
release every 18-24 months.
