Even if it happens less frequently now, the fact that this is still a possibility at all makes submitting anything to the app store a really frustrating experience. Particularly for bugfixes I just really want to fix the bug ASAP, not have to invest a bunch of time changing some unrelated feature (or even wasting another review cycle). Consequently I do try to minimize my total number of submissions.

Turns out the announcement was in june, and the process change is starting today [0] I agree with you though, the review process, especially because it's super inconsistent and even Apple themselves sem to be care about some rules more than others, is quite a pain

I saw this too. Great news if true (thank you, court of public opinion). Still a little bit unclear how Apple will know that my changes are just bugfixes; are they going to read my minified javascript?
