I don't think that a new schema will change the fix-one-thing-break-another 
approach.  Very very few issues have anything to do with how the data is 
structured in the database; problems are about how it is used when queried from 
the database or how the data enters the database.  Structuring it differently 
(in this case more generically) doesn't solve any problems (more likely to 
cause problems).

Quality of releases comes down to experience of developers (as in how well they 
know the code they are maintaining), and depth of testing.
