Having said this, I can't help but wonder what possible
motivation there could be, among developers, to do something

Mike,
Making bug-fix releases is an essential part of professional software
development. Jeff is right - it is the professional thing to do. Unfortunately,
most Sage developers do not have a background in software engineering, so do not
appreciate that.
As for motivation, these two links might give you some thoughts. There's some
very useful responses on the first link.
