I agree on release asap knowing it might not be the most stable release
ever.
But, I would make sure
* we have a serious effort on bugfixing prior to the release and following
it
* we do not release with severe AND prominent known issue
* we have a shorter dot release cycle (maybe once a week or switch to
nightly builds) to avoid waiting too long for fixes

Best regards,
Denis
