The opposite in fact, I've spent too long with products that just sat and stagnated till the next "full point release" that you had to pay for.
Incremental bug fixes, and lets not forget alot of them are wrapped around security patches of newly discovered issues in things like SSL and Squid etc, are, to me, comforting.
Point taken and I understand that updates are good but in my mind somethings fishy whenever a new one comes out everyday (.204-.206 all came out in three days one right after another). It's especially abnormal since previous updates did not have the same frequency of release.

I stand with Biffa. Seeing all these updates says one thing to me--support. It's good to know that the Astaro team is on the ball and keeping the system up-to-date and patched up. As issues arise, they are dealt with. No system is perfect. If I wasn't seeing updates happening often on a security system such as AStaro, THAT is when I would be concerned. It's a dynamic environment that it operates in. Patches and security updates will happen a lot if the developers are on the ball.
I too am comforted to know that they are continuing to make the product better, securing holes, and patching up issues. It's a fact of life for ANYTHING in this industry. A company not releasing updates very often and waiting on major service releases is only fooling you into thinking they are rock solid and everything is just perfect.
