Are you actually saying that hamm, slink, woody, sarge, lenny,
squeeze, wheezy and jessie haven't been releases? We actually did
pretty well without that rule, and I find it deeply disturbing that
people are suddenly claiming that this - imo harmful - rule is
absolutely necessary to get a release.
There was a time when we released when it was finished. Now it seems
like we aim to release at all cost when the calendar says that we
should.
