I don't work for Microsoft or IBM, but as someone who actually does run a mission critical service built around django, with 99.99% uptime requirements (60 mins downtime/year), we seriously appreciate the stability of django development - it was one of the main pros compared to other frameworks when we decided to move our web development from C++ to a dynamic language. Don't get me wrong, we love new features as much as the next person, and we're eagerly awaiting the chance to get 1.2-release into testing, but each new release means about a week of testing, code reviews and so on. The current balance between new features and stability suits us just fine - features aren't rushed in, even in contrib, and that has to be a good thing.
