That may be true for some software, but libtool has a really good test 
suite so if tests pass, there is high confidence of quality for the 
systems it has been executed on.  It is abnoxiously painful to build 
libtool starting from git sources so hardly anyone is testing the 
unreleased code.

Pushing out a release assures that the mechanics are working and that 
it is even possible to create a release.

Users are much more apt to report bugs and patches against software 
that they can easily use.
