I'd say, release early, release often.
In general, *BSDs take more time to work out technical details, make sure that the design is right.
The approach in the Linux communtity is much more, release something that mostly works now and fix it later.
- mkr-hn 7y agoUbuntu kicking everyone into a 6 month release cycle pushed Linux, as a kernel and as a software ecosystem, forward a lot. Quality and quantity seem to converge over a long enough view.

Little orthogonal: It sort of rhymes with the mono repository versus collection of micro repositories mindset. Does BSD have more code reuse since it is whole system?
