I dont want to sound bashing, but i think you must consider the 
idea that the developers of xfce make xfce because that is what 
they like todo.

That people use the software, and like to use it, 
that is a rewarding side-effect.

As such, rushing into release for any reason other than the 
state of the software is irrelevant.

(any devs like to comment on this, please do)
