This is a really bad way of doing this. It's been my experience that most
of gain in quality in a release is achived by the fixes to ~10 most
important bugs. It's more important to deliver those major fixes quickly
than to wait while minor bugs get addressed, like those that occur when
one has a headache during a full moon while one's pet cat is doing a
ballroom dancing exhibition on top of the keyboard.
