VLC 2.2.0 update not in Sparkle?

When clicking VLC - "Check for Update…" I am being told "VLC 2.1.5 is currently the newest version available". What may be the reason why VLC 2.2.0 doesn’t show up in the Sparkle updating mechanism?

In the past, I have noticed that new versions of VLC don’t show up there straight away but 2.2.0 has been out for ten days…

This is normal. We never update to .0 versions.

I had to go to the website to download the new version.

So, what is the reason for "we never update to .0 versions?" I don't understand the reasoning behind that, but perhaps that's because there was no actual explanation provided?

2.2.0 is a new major release. It might still be more unstable than 2.1.5. And we want to fix all issues found, before updating for all users.
