I'm not yet convinced that we will have more releases. We have more 
releases now because we're trying to get to stable versions. After that, 
the eggs are on their own and I think we'll make much less releases.

But even if we got more releases to do, I don't see the problem. With 
more releases we'd get more practice and make less mistakes.

One of the things we should realize in this process is that -- even 
though setuptools makes it so damn easy to register and uplaod stuff to 
PyPI -- releases are actually important business. They can't just be 
created in a jiffy. They require attention and concentration. And a 
well-defined process.
