IIRC, Steam still does not allow a developer to release a Linux-only title.
It may seem like a minor or fair limitation, but the ability to release Windows-only titles is a key component in maintaining the dominance of Windows as a gaming platform. Letting developers release on Linux first might go a long way to increasing adoption.
I can imagine releasing on Linux a few months early, dealing with the issues not caught during development, then launching on Windows.
