Incremental updates would make sense if calibre had them no more than three or four times a year. However, cailbre has weekly (occasionally more frequent) updates.
I'm of the school that believes if it "ain't broke," don't fix it. That is the reason why I don't download updates unless it has a feature addition or enhancement or a bug fix I'm interested in (I'm still happily using 0.7.47). For an incremental upgrade feature to work, the download software involved would have to somehow determine what version one is using, then tailor the download to fill in the necessary "holes." Either that, or one would have to commit to downloading every weekly update (something I do not want because of the occasional bugs that slip through) or catch up on missed past downloads, which defeats the whole purpose of the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" school of thought.
