That's good to know, thanks.

Subjectively previous releases have not been of very good quality. And this
one risks to be a lot worst because we don't have a team of several
developers testing and fixing. The number of features we landed is probably
greater than the number of fixes which can't be right, unless we are
suddenly writing perfect code.

I don't care too much about releasing or not, but IMO we should not go back
accepting new features until the testing, triaging and bugs situation is a
bit more under control.
