I would like to add a clarifying point to this: while we know that adding features is much more likely to introduce bugs than not adding features, during Wesnoth's development we have always tried our best to make *every* release as stable as possible. This approach has worked well, often leading to development releases being more stable than 'stable' releases. We should continue this. The team has done a tremendous job of making 1.4 as stable as possible. We should try to stay as close as possible to this ideal, attacking bugs aggressively and trying to keep our bug count as low as possible. We should not adapt an attitude of "oh well lets slam in lots of features and not worry about the bugs until later".
