I would be very careful about mixing concern for generating more
interest in to a release policy that might give a false impression of
the progress being made on the project.
It does give me a warm fuzzy feeling to see the version number go up
on reactos.com -- on (almost) any f/oss project for that matter. But
I if I discovered the progress being made was misrperesented, I might
lose trust in the people working on the project. Trust is important,
and if we can gain the trust of end users, that's something we'll have
that microsoft never really earned. :)
