Perhaps. Perhaps not. The fewer the changes, the less complexity you
have to manage.
But it would certainly result in a smaller set of feature changes per
release. Some people might regard that as a good thing.
The advantage to doing more frequent releases is that new features end
up with more real-world testing within a given block of time, on
average, because a lot more people pick up the releases than the CVS
snapshots or even release candidates..
