Release early, release often :)
Yes, I admit that you are right. But unfortunately Vim is not
developing in Bazaar's way, at least not that way currently.
Vim has a very very large TODO list here:
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/runtime/doc/todo.txt
I sometimes guess it would be nice to import the todo list into some
tracking system such as trac, and then a lot of *submitters* could
participate into the development concurrently. But sadly, most of us
are not able to understand Vim's source code as clearly as Bram. I
also submitted some dirty patches and Bram had to correct many
mistakes for me. So there can't be more *submitters* until some of us
could spend as much time as Bram.

Hence "presume".
If you had browsed the svn repository, you'll discovered that there
are no "trunk", "branches", "tags" directories. So... You know what I
mean...

Even if BM is the only one who can actually make a release, I'd imagine others
have opinions on the matter. Anyway, I was just wondering.
That's why Yzis branched out from Vim project. And then, they played so badly...
