The difference between x.y.1 and x.y.2 is tiny, there should be no major hassle in applying point releases. In fact you should be able to take the tarball for the point release you're currently on, the tarball for the new one, create a diff of them, and then apply that diff to your modified code to apply whatever fixes were added in the point release. Unless you touched code related to a bug there shouldn't really be any notable conflicts.
We even provide the upgrade in patch form, so they wouldn't even need to make the diff themselves.
