This is the default operation for MELPA, which arguably has more popular

It works fine.

Yes. Unconditionally.

Every patch is probably a feature or a bug-fix to some aspect of the

As a package-developer, I may release patches weekly, but I update main 
versions maybe once every second year, if/when someone bothers me about it.

Not having to version things manually is a god-send.

All of them does, if they're on MELPA. That's what MELPA does.
