They don't seem to be doing that as often lately, though.  

I think that finally realized that pushed up release schedules 
were causing then harm.  I don't mind that a new release 
produces some obsure anomalies.  I once found one in a 
gaming program that didn't expect a response in a particular 
setting.  

It's vhen the next version comes on next week and another 
the week after that, etc that gives me pause.
