When we're already at 4 releases/year, this is indicitive of a problem. People want new releases to fix the bugs in the current release. Our release QA is horrible. Look at what Apple does -- they sit on the release candidate for a *month*, with *no changes at all*, before putting it gold; we might get a week, and frequently there's last-minute changes or more obscure nuances that often result in bugs in the release.
