Waiting for all of the bugs to be fixed (or some semblance thereof) is what we did through the 2.6.0 release. That meant two or three years between kernel releases, and did not result in higher-quality kernels. There really does come a point where you have to put it out there, get more people using it, and fix the remaining issues in parallel with further development.
