It's a bit strained, but car or TV companies often put out a new model that's identical to the old model +- some but fixes. There's a line somewhere but the law does not specify the line, it seems

Exactly. v4.2.34 is a new product compared to v4.2.33.
Not defending this, but in the eyes of the law there's no distinction between new products and features and bug fixes.
Precisely. The difference with software is that the production process is so iterative that experimentation becomes a relatively rational tactic for getting things done.
