Please do not mix together bugs fix releases with enhancement/new 
addition releases, those represent two different types of release 
that serve two entirely different purposes.

Bug fixes should be as frequent as possible. To understand why, 
just try and find a good reason to artificially hold back a bug 
fix.

As for feature enhancements and new additions to the language, 
delays tend to be a good thing, allowing time for fine tuning 
reflection and beta testing - but please take note that the 
current process lacks a public beta release cycle, and we can see 
the results each time there's been a new release, with weird 
version number mix ups, and embarrassing bugs that would have 
been detected had there been a real public beta release posted on 
the main download page.
