As was stated previously, GNOME 2.0's release was similar, and from what 
I've ready they pushed out updates weekly (or nearly that often). A lot of 
people were confusing plans for KDE 4 as promises for what'd be in KDE 
4.0.0.

It was noted in KDE's Commit Digest that after the 4.0.0 release was made, 
there was a sizeable increase in the amount of activity in the SVN 
servers, leading one to believe that the release of 4.0.0 attracted more 
developers (or the developers were getting better/more information).

It seems odd to me how principles that have worked so well for Free 
Software for so long (such as Release Early, Release Often) are suddenly 
seeming to be forgotten. Also KDE 4.0's development time was originally 
said to be too long, but then it suddenly became too short ;)
