I wouldn't dare suggest that all bugs must be fixed prior to a new release, but I will suggest that releases could be delayed to fix critical bugs that, under a completely stock and default installation: stop the filesystem from functioning, report no errors to the user, and require that the user hard-reset their computer. At the very least, the defaults could be modified such that Joe Average User won't be affected by it, and those that want cutting-edge features like snapshots, background fscks, etc. can enable them. This should result in fewer headaches for users and those that help them. Additionally, the users that want these new features are likely those that are already running -STABLE, so it's a lot easier and more practical for them to try the latest incremental updates, as necessary.
Quotas aren't in the default configuration. To enable quotas, you must rebuild your kernel. Not that I don't think they're important, but they don't actually fit in the category you're talking about.
