Heh. That's a new strategy. Not "ok, we're now as bug-clean as we can be", but instead the "please please release soon, so that we won't have time to fix anything else" ;)

Well practically, we're never bug free. What happens is that as the tree stabilises, the arrival rate of the critical bugs increases fairly exponentially. I measure this interval to be about 6 days now, so if you release a kernel in the next six days I won't have to run around like a mad thing trying to delay the kernel so I can QA and submit the bug fix, whatever it is.

Of course, if you want to wait for all the critical bug fixes, there'll be one in six days ... then twelve days after that ... then twenty four ...
