The published vs. unpublished is something of a red herring here.  The
real issue is if there is a problem you want to fix for a micro release
and the fix requires incompatible changes.  The solution is as always,
if the benefits are considered higher than the risks, then make the
incompatible change, otherwise don't (i.e., postpone indefinitely or
postpone until the next minor or even major, where the perceived risk
might be smaller).

Anyway, so I understand your point to be

1) Try to limit API changes to the major releases (4.0, 5.0, 6.0 etc).

2) API changes in minor and micro releases are still considered only if it's really really necessary. Otherwise, wait until the next major release.
