I didn't mean to imply there was anything wrong with the OSS release-early-and-often model. On the contrary, I think it's excellent and I fully support it. All my personal stuff is usually the very freshest code available that day. I just meant to say that sometimes young OSS zealots people get overconfident and think anyone who doesn't always upgrade business systems to the bleeding edge is "stodgy," "behind the times," or "stuck in the past" when in fact it's just "professionalism".
