I have no opinion. The motivation is in packages/README: This cron job only creates a new package when the "version" (as specified in the foo-pkg.el or in the "Version:" header) of a package is modified. This means that you can safely work on the next version here without worrying about the unstable code making it to GNU ELPA, and simply update the "version" when you want to release the new code. Seems sensible. Surely there needs to be some way to prevent every change going live immediately?
