Very good point about Agile.
As an end-user (that is, the IT staff that will be deploying/managing things), I prefer less-frequent releases. I'd love to see 1 or 2 releases a year for all software (pipe dream, I know). Once you have a handful of packages, you end up with constant change to manage.
I suspect what we end up with is early adopters embracing the frequent releases, and providing feedback/error reporting, while people like me benefit from them while choosing to upgrade less frequently.
There are about 3 apps that I'm a beta tester for, so even I'm part of that early-adopter group.
