i don't see it as a matter of urging developers to code
faster

however, it may be good practice to do more stable releases
typically 
when majors bugs are fixed instead of having both bug fixes
and new 
features in dev releases: because those new features are
likely to 
introduce other bugs

of course, this requires more work and process for the
module maintainer 
since it means working with branches, fixing in branches as
well, and 
also still have HEAD where upcoming features and major
refactorings are put

to sum it up, ready when ready still applies
and said in a vulgar way, open source is not the excuse for
being 
messy/lazy/careless - because although it's open source and
you're doing 
it in you spare time etc, you have responsibilities towards
your user base
