My problem with this approach is that I think it generates a LOT more 
work for the FLSA release folks because there is more "churn".  For 
example, each event of publishing an update needs a separate FLSA 
advisory (or at least spamming all the mailing lists with an update to 
it), they have to be moved to updates one by one, etc.
