Releasing often has lead us to stop seeing the bigger picture. I think the danger when you release often is to rush the releases... and in the end transform what was a great idea into a half-baked product. I don't want to say that this statement is always wrong, because it certainly isn't, but I think people should approach it with care and stop applying it like it was a God commandement.

Isn't that the case with _any_ guideline ?
Guidelines like 'Release early, release often' are just that, guidelines. Take any guideline to its extremes and it will just collapse. They are just there to 'guide' your _thinking_, and that's something no-one else can do for you.
