Question for the prerelease community

To those of you who get CC prereleases, a question:

Background: up to now I have tried to bunch new features together into larger releases made every 3 to 4 months. I did this for both my benefit (end user expectations) and to avoid overloading the prerelease community with new releases. I could change that and make prereleases when I "finish" development of a feature. That would mean that the prerelease cycle is substantially shorter, but from time to time I might make a release that isn't exactly optimal.

My question: which would you prefer?

If you choose frequent releases then you would see new features as I build them, which could be months before I release them to the general public. For example, I have built reordering the grouping drawer and the sort menu, select-from-list for group by custom columns, permit languages in the grouping drawer, support for the Samsung K4A app, make the top-level group name not scroll, and sync books changed since they were last sent. None of these will be released for months, but they could all be made available to the prerelease group.

The downside is frequent changes, some of which might not be as stable as others (although I would rather avoid that ). You might rather not be bothered every week or so.
