Well, all software has bugs.  It sounds like you're upset that Linux has
bugs...?  I don't know how to help with that concern :).

If that's not it, then it's just a matter of whether you want to have
access to the fixes to the bugs as soon as they're available, or have
the bugs all batched up and delivered in chunks once a month or so.
There's no one right answer to that, different people want different
things.  So... the best you can do is offer people a choice.
