This is a management problem. I’ve worked in commercial niche-market software for a long time and it was VERY rare when management accepted a release with “nothing new in it”. Features and applications were sellable, but bug fixes were not. Or worse, they were an admission we screwed up. Also, seeing all those developers “doing nothing” really bothers many managers. Is this good for user-helpful software? No, of course not, but the company’s goal is revenue.
