The problem isn't that it's small, the problem is that if few changes are breaking, then you have "version 5" which is significantly different than "version 4".

Is version 465 very different from version 464 though?

A bit unfair, no? Firefox switched to the "new major version every 6 weeks (or so)" only because Google did that first with Chrome, and people started thinking "Chrome is so much better because it's in version 17 and Firefox is version 3".

As soon as: a) you precisely define "very different" AND b) versions 464 and 465 of Firefox and Chrome are available, we can continue discussing :)
