So my specifics are always intended to clarify that. People play fast and loose with specifics, especially the closer you get to Fanboy Town.
That said, if you wait long enough, your desire for a bigger update will happen by default, if you know what I mean. I would expect the biggest bugs and issues to occur in a full version bump (as with KitKat to Lollipop). I also expect that each incremental update is going to address specific issues that were created by its predecessors.
That means the biggest problems overall are probably in Android 5.0, with those addressed by 5.0.1., etc. We all know that isn't always perfect over all updates because sometimes they break other stuff and sometimes the updates are more about adding a feature than squashing bugs. It's reasonable to assume that each incremental update fixes more issues, though.
That brings me back to my original point. How long are you content to wait for a perfect release that isn't ever going to come?
Me, I just want the most up to date release as soon as possible. I think right now that would be 5.0.2?
If you had read what I posted, I didn't say a "perfect update", I said more refined, in other words, less bugs than what they are currently dealing with.
I was looking for info about the update for the 2013 Nexus 7 WiFi, and apparently there is a thread on XDA talking about the 5.0.1 update being pulled because it corrupted some people's boot loader. I'm fine getting a followup update, but again, if it causes more issues than it solves, I'd rather wait.
My phone works just fine the way it is. Why push for an update that will change that? So far this rollout seems to be the most troubled of any Android version they've done. I'm not saying we shouldn't keep on them to get quicker updates, but I also don't want them to rush it and mess [moderator edit] up more than it fixes.
