I have found the Marketplace is the complete opposite of the usual
"release early, release often" development practices ESR taught us
many years ago:

http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-bazaar/ar01s04.html

Users are not developers and do not want upgrades, ever.  They want
fully functional, bug free, 1.0 releases only.  And if you do make a
bug release, you had better list some obvious new features or you will
get accused of spamming the Marketplace.  In a nutshell, Marketplace
users are whiny bitches and there's not much you can do about it.

Good luck.
