We generally try to release only when there are either no
known regressions from the previous release, or at worst
when the regressions are unavoidable and well-explained.
Other than that, it's pretty much when we estimate we've
reached a point where a round of enhancements has been
"completed".

I'm not sure all this really constitutes a policy, much less
an official policy :-), but feel free to quote me on the
wiki.  Maybe Jamey and Josh will chime in at some point.
