> I hope that people on HN don't upvote/downvote stories based solely on their titles, and if I see an upvoted story whose title is "PopularSoftware v.6.2 is released!" I'm definitely going to check what the people have to say in the comments.
Even if they don't, if the title is too boring they might let the story pass without doing either. A story titled simply "PopularSoftware v6.2.1 released" (it's even a x.y.1 release, which commonly means only small bug fixes) might not attract enough attention to get more than a few upvotes.
