No, I wasn't requesting the latter (releasing with less quality). I was talking about the former--could freezes in testing be started sooner after the previous release? (That is, are the sets of changes made usually divisible into smaller chunks, or are there almost always a few big change groups that require keeping testing unfrozen as long as is done currently?
