I agree.  I'm tired of doing QA and having it thrown out as more
bug fixes are added, and then people complaining about the patches
being so late to arrive...
 
Once we have a "sufficient" amount of QA done, we should finish it
and release it.  New bugs that appear go into the next update of the
package.

Just my opionion though...
