Not really. It's called unstable development, and it happens in every single project, commercial or otherwise. You get to something stable through iterative development and improvements.

And the history of commercial development contains examples of new versions that went a bridge too far resulting in release delays.

> resulting in release delays

Since when are Open Source projects on a fixed release schedule? A delay in the KDE 4.0 release, so what?

Well, GNOME is, as a matter of fact. I'm not saying that is a positive thing, just saying it is.

Is this supposed to tell us something new? Sometimes you just have to accept that something is complex and work with it.
