I know several people here (who do more good work than me) think
that, but I disagree. I like not upgrading my software particularly
often if it doesn't have any bugs I care about in it, so I find it
easier to have some releases every so often, when I think "oh, I'll
upgrade that now," and spend a few minutes reading through the git
log and updating my config.h / st.info.

Arguably that's my problem, rather than something that should be
fixed by adding the occasional vX.X tag, but still...
