This is a lot to expect from any software, especially a fast moving  
framework like RB.

That said there is a lot of room for improvement. Since the beginning  
of the rapid release program, we have been reliably getting a new  
release every three months, but unfortunately, we haven't really had  
what you'd call a stable release since the program's inception. In  
some cases, new features effect previously working code in unexpected  
ways (introduce new bugs).

Unfortunately the Rapid Release program has also become the Slow Fix  
program by design.

Since there will be a new release 3 months after the current one, any  
bugs that are found will have to wait up to 3 months before a fix is  
available (more if RS doesn't consider it significant enough to  
bother fixing). At least with the old release program developers  
could expect an .x release that contained nothing but bug fixes a few  
weeks after a .0 release.

I would really like to see a bit of a middle ground where at 4 to 6  
weeks after a new rN release, a bug fix release is issued. preferably  
one that we didn't have to pay an extra $5/bug to have.
