Ok, let me explain.  Suppose that we release in 5 months and that the release 
is not good enough (i.e. as usual with KOffice).  The next release is in 6 
months after that.  This means that it will take 11 months until the user can 
get a usable Calligra suite.

Now, if we instead prolong the initial release phase to, say, 7 months and by 
doing that make sure that the release is in fact good enough then the user 
gets a usable Calligra in 7 months.

This means that the early release delays the time that the user can get 
his/her hands on a usable Calligra with 4 months.  All figures are just 
examples, of course, but the reasoning stands.
