Well I don't think you'll find a single dev that disagrees that we should push smaller updates. The only thing is nobody currently active really knows how to make that work (rofl)
Auto updater is still questionable in terms of actually functioning, and we lose storyline lead after storyline lead (among other lead devs) due to other games or burn out. Once 4.87 hits the idea was to start releasing smaller updates (for reals this time - ye exactly like we promised on 4.86 release) but I honestly have no idea how that will work out.
