4) Library/FB bugs mostly out of our control
5) focus on features instead of bugs
6) lack of bug reporting

Well, I think it would mostly slow it down, due to having to copy
patches to the release branches. Copying code is also very dangerous:
we had to release Hastalaqb+ because I missed a single line, rendering
all hero commands dead. Porting over only some changes may have
unintended side effects/requires rewriting the code.
On the other hand, the 7 months feature freeze put us 6ish months back
on new features, and about 2-3 months forward on bugfixes.
