Hmm.. I have no strong preferences. There _is_ obviously a well-defined 
ordering from x.y.z.1 -> x.y.z.2 (unlike the -rcX releases that don't have 
any ordering wrt the bugfixes), so either interdiffs or whole new full 
diffs are totally "logical". We just have to chose one way or the other, 
and I don't actually much care.

Any reason for your preference?
