I dont agree with those points. Some one on the other side comented on 
firefox..
and personly the new way they release the thing I dont like it much, they went 
from to far apart to, "I dont care any more"

I still see value on bulding up a desire for the new thing, building up hype 
around it, aka  "im working on this amazing feature for the upcoming foo" and 
making people having to wayt for it hads value to it. having to wayt for 
somthing values the thing... intsnt gratification does not take you very far.
the key is how much is to long ??? I personaly think that 9/8 months would be 
perfect from that POV. and that 6 months is alarady to fast,.
