Staggering releases isn't down to some national prejudice, but often a way of watching out for issues being a big problem. 3.17.0 was pulled, so 3.15 is one version old. 3.17.3 is probably being released area by area to watch out for any new bugs that may not have shown up through testing.

No matter how many beta testers you have, once you release globally you're looking at millions of users. Each may have slightly different configs of books etc and thats where a previously unknown bug may cause chaos.
