I suppose that depends on what is being improved.  In the case of System 7.0,
a whole LOT of features are being added.  Outline fonts take a non-zero 
amount of time to render.

Yeah, it took a lot of time to get out (still taking, but looks like it will
make it out on May 13th still.)  They added file server capabilities, outline
fonts, interapplication communications and other neat stuff.  7.0 is a HUGE
amount of code  to debug.
