Yes, the "micro" is there for any intermediate releases, whether they
be classed as "stable" branch releases, or "brown paper bag" emergency
releases. I tend to view it as a "get out of jail free" card, something
that you may never use, but is a good idea to have as a backup plan for
the future.

It doesn't cost us anything to have the micro version, and it has a
potential upside should the unexpected occur, I'm not really in favour
of removing it.

With regards,
Daniel
