Something you got to learn to understand is that,
- If you release the fw on a specific date, people complain about non working / crappy / broken firmware.
- If you release the FW later because of doing a good job, people are complaining because of the delay.
Either way, people will be complaining.
Thus:
If it is necessary to update a device multiple times because of bugs in the fw, you increase the risk of bricking the device with each update.
Thus, try to reduce fw upgrades.
Thus, try to make something perfect from the first time.
If the first time takes longer to debug, then it takes longer....
I know of a great name in the bass world, who invented something today, that nearly all bass amp manufacturers have incorporated, just because he wanted to do everything perfect from the start. It took the community nearly 4 years of waiting, to get the final version out! And his products are still amongst world's best products amongst vintage players (equals people who know good from bad, not from brand fanatics or popular opinion).
They are the difference between the guys running townscars with 20" chromed plastic rims and crappy 10" subs in the trunk; and the guy who buys a lotus or a maserati.
So if your company takes longer to distribute a FW for perfection, then be patient, and your patience will be rewarded.
Besides, no one wants to download a 1,6GB colossal file every month anyway.
