Exactly - and their dividends are the features we release, not a share
of profits we make from pushing out something a few weeks earlier.

I always feel very confident knowing that it won't be committed until
it's right.

They have - but I see no reason why an imperfect process should delay
the hard work of developers getting into the hands of users that want
it for 12 months or more. It'll annoy users and potentially alienate
important developers - and there are few enough of them able to work
on features of this complexity as it is.
