Anything that needs "oh, we need to push these ten patches to avoid regressions at the last minute" is not mature enough to be relied upon by end users for everyday use. That is what I meant. But now you are saying these are not regression fixes, in which case they have to wait because the users have known about the limitations that existed for a long time and learned to live with them. That is a sign of mature (not "not ready") software. You cannot be both. Which is it?
