Actually, it's _very_ relevant. If release model A takes up more time and 
resources than release model B, then release model A will slow down 
development. For projects with more developers, it may be possible to mitigate 
those costs such that the benefits outweigh them, but for projects with fewer 
developers, a slower release model may be completely unacceptable. It all 
depends on what the various pros and cons are and how they will affect the 
project.

It may very well be that the proposed release model is well worth going to, 
but it could also be that its benefits aren't worth its costs, and the number 
of developers involved has a definite effect on that calculation.
