Despite all the hemming and hawing, there hasn't been any actual
evidence showing that releases are any less stable than the many
releases that came before them. On the contrary, release bugs have
existed throughout Apple's history. Apple's course of action should be
to first identify that there is a problem, and only then fix it. If
there is no problem, nothing needs to change.
