I'm in the software business.  We send out an update or two to all of 
our users every year on CD's.  A couple of years ago we started putting 
optional intermediate updates on our web site every few weeks, along 
with a detailed change list.  This enables our users to get immediate 
fixes and new features, if they choose to.

The result -- complaints!  Why are there so many updates?  There are so 
many [fixed] bugs on your change list!  And so forth.  Despite this, we 
continue to do it because in reality, if not perception, it IS better 
for the users.

Believe me, there are plenty of potential improvements for your 
Yaecomwoodtec rig that you will never hear about, because the 
manufacturers only put out service bulletins for the most critical issues.
