Release often is a good strategy. Last minute changes are always a headache. As part of the release process, the first step should be that, if there are patches, we should at least apply those and resolve those issues. A patch available means that, someone spent some time looking into the issue and figured out a solution. So more often than not, we can trust the solution, little bit of testing would prove if the fixes are right, and we should solve those as the first issues for a release. That was the strategy followed for the Rqampart release we did earlier this year. Samisa...
