No, there's no written law that you have to do it. But's it's the well-known recpe behind the success of OpenSource - also known as "Release early, release often". Therefore I'd recommend to continue applying this rule @ FlightGear. > We are cross-platform, and as there are many people out there using > Mac or Windows, they aren't in OpenSource as you or others here are. I think we should remind ourselves that FlightGear development is being carried on mostly by developers, not by users. If you'd like to impose the requirement to follow almost every (sometimes pretty braindead) user habit onto FlightGear, then you're probably going to kill the entire project. I know, I'm exaggerating quite a bit, but the basic tendency is still true.
