I have a concrete example - bug 2222 - fortunately fixed before final R14.0.0.
But imagine a situation that could not be fixed and now we should decide.
I dare say that is certainly, it is a fix for very crucial issue. At the same
time, in my opinion, this is not a fix that should mean release R14.1.0. For
such a fix I would suggest release R14.0.1. And that's just the situation
that I had in mind - a situation where, in my opinion, is inappropriate to
wait for the completion of the specified number of patches for release.

I would
suggest for patch releases not focus only on the number of fixed
bugs. Substantial could be, for example, the importance of fixed bugs.
Sufficiently frequent release of new versions also seems like a good card
viability of the project.
Agree as well. Anyhow substantial or major bug fixes would probably be
better done in minor releases, not in the maintenance ones. Or should be
incorporated in the maintenance ones only after a reasonable amount of test
time. IMO, maintenance releases should address bugs that do not require
major rework/changes. I think of them as a way to improve v14.0.0 without
major changes on it.
Instead I consider v14.x.0 releases at the same strength of the old KDE
3.5.x releases.
Just another 2 cents.
