Releasing a new Emacs, say, even 6 month won't suddenly turn it into a 
crashing mess. But we would get more and faster feedback for new 
features and changes.

That's the main issue why we have to drag on the release schedule: we 
don't get reports of regressions soon enough after introducing them. So 
we have to wait months for the users to try and report back.

How to change that? Either make releases more often, or make snapshot 
releases more prominent and easier to try, or improve the bug reporting 
experience so that more people do that. Or all of that together, of course.

In this thread specifically I'm talking about number 3.

I wonder what wonderful curious bug reports we would also get if we had 
the number of users that Firefox has.
