It is dependent on the definition of quality. I'm not saying just throw crap code over the wall as quickly as possible! I've seen the consequences of that often enough. But I've also seen a lot of premature optimization masked as "quality", and at a certain inflection point, it becomes so time-consuming that it threatens the project.
For example, do you really need 100% unit test coverage of all corner cases?
