We all have our rationalizations.

Bzzt, wrong. Jesse Keating already addressed this scenario:

Given that the tool allows you to release multiple packages with the same
announcement / reasons / bugs / etc it is quite easy to prepare a stack of
packages for update, say a flaw in a library is discovered, you have to build
a new version of library, and a bunch of downstream packages against said
library, you can release the entire stack under a single web form, and now
all your updates have context, and it can even autoupdate a bug once it is
pushed to the world.
