I don't think there's any danger of releasing Perl 6 "early", considering it's been in development since 2000.

Think of "early" as not ready to have people know the release as Perl 6. Think of "early" as corrupting data, randomly failing, slapping your children, and leaving the seat up.

Perl 6 has been in planning since summer 2000, but Pugs began in 2005 and Rakudo in November 2007.
