But one of the nice things about Open Source projects is that, well, it's NOT work, its NOT a job, and we can also balance having a known and reliable release schedule with "We Won't Release Until Its Ready". PMCs aren't factories, churning out releases and code like widgets. We do that enough at our day-jobs. PMC and Apache projects should be, IMO of course, considered more like making a good wine or brewing a fine ale. It's a craft. It's an art form. FOSS projects should be fun and safe places where you can practice your craft.
