That's usually true as long as the code does not have any showstopper 
bugs. Putting out releases with major showstopper bugs that result in
regressions from previous releases is not cool and makes the release
more or less useless. There are at least a few bugs currently in the
bug tracker that are showstopper bugs and would make the release useless.
