"Release early, release often" is specifically aimed at developers -- get the code out there, let people play around with it, let them help find+fix bugs. That phrase as **nothing** to do with stable releases for normal users. If people want a stable release, they can take a look at the 15 critical issues. Once those are down, we can announce a beta and find approximately 5 more critical issues. Then we'll have a second beta, and probably discover 2 more issues. Then we'll have a third beta, find no more critical issues within two weeks, and then release 2.14.0. But this whole process doesn't get off the ground until the current crop of release-critical issues are fixed.
