And you forgot about the end of this " _each_release " process: Mandake goes final, and in reviews it gets a mere 7/10 score with the reviewer saying thins like "Ooh, what a pity they didn't fix that ugly bug, but other than that, it works very well!" or "My first installation attempt hung and i had to reboot it, but after that it worked ok." > There is always too much bugs. There's always too little time.
