Well, I think you both have a point.

The theory behind release early, release often is that you at every point
during your development lifecycle has something to showoff. By doing this
you reduce risk, improve quality, improve progress visibility etc.

Isn't most apache projects encouraged to have working CVS versions at all
times ? This implies that Apache projects indeed practice release early and
often - which in turn leads to higher quality of the code that is _labeled_
as released.
