Bitcoin Core 0.17.0 [Too many updates]

[hugeblack]

A while ago I read this Bitcoin Core 0.17.0 is almost ready (Release Candidates coming soon), I think I made a mistake with numbers, but it's a new update.
Does that wallet needs for many updates in a short time? I know there are bugs and so on, but maybe two updates a year are enough "plus an update when an important bug reported."
I didn’t follow the changes in the new updates but the update "0.15.1 to 0.16.0" was necessary. As for the other updates, I do not think there are any significant changes.

there weren't any significant changes in those and that is why only the patch is changing not the minor. (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) like from 0.16.0 to 0.16.1.

do we need these many new versions? yes we do. there are minor and major bug fixes, additional features and a lot of new changes after the SegWit release so there will be more work done on bitcoin core and any other application build on top of bitcoin protocol.
