That does only make sense for a large number of developers IMHO. For LyX this rule is too strong. I think that the current practice works quite well. The only thing we need to get into the minds of developers is that bugs can get fixed all the time, not only before a relaase, and that some bugs always will be postponed if they are known too late.
