I don't think LO has this figured out at all. Saw this on Twitter today, for example: https://twitter.com/camerongray1515/status/364393046768484353/photo/1 The goal should be moving from stability to stability through a disciplined process, not speed for its own sake. Having large, "anything goes" releases are fine, provided we dedicate enough time for testing. And small, carefully controlled releases are fine, since they don't require as much testing. But frequent, uncontrolled releases, without enough testing, I don't like what that leads to.
