Yes, except "ship" to most people in most contexts means "make available", not "cut a point release". Say there was an egregious typo in an O'Reilly manual—if their spokesman said "we don't ship books with typos," would that imply to you "we're not selling another copy of this book until we fix it" or "we're going to keep selling the version with the typo until we get around to publishing the next edition?"
