Of course it can be applied to free software. You fix bugs in what people are doing now, and you also do experimental work, and when you have a new feature that is a huge win, you merge it. But if you just randomly change things every time a developer has an idea or reads a paper, you only succeed in driving the users away.

Totally agree, especially lately, new free software user interfaces are a regression, taking away functionality, even to the point of not being able to accomplish the task they are intended for. That is way too early to release.
