IOW, it is not a good way to grow one's user base. Xconq's user
base seems small enough as it is, why shrink it further? I know
that we are not a commercial endeavor, so it doesn't really matter
how many "customers" we have, but is certainly good for developer
morale and the health of the project.
Lack of stable releases are a better way for a project to go stale. New
releases attract new players. If you don't release, people look at a
game and think 'not been updated in years... there's probably better,
newer games around'. Their loss, I know, but it happens.
However, if people are working to fix the issue and the elapsed time
allows for people to catch up with other areas of Xconq, then this is
really a non-issue.
