"Mac OS X 10.5.2 Update, the next in a year-long series of planned updates to Apple's new Leopard operating system, promises to be one of the most hefty maintenance releases put out by the company for its operating system software in recent years. According to people familiar with the matter, Tuesday evening gave way to the first test builds of the software update for developers, including a 354MB bare-bones delta build and a 362MB combo updater- both of which were labeled OS X 10.5.2 build 9C7."

The size of the patch has nothing to do with the amount of bugs fixed or left unfixed.
Also the first .1 update to any Mac OS X version, has always been between the first twenty days after the release; the existance of a .1 14 days after release date, doesn't have anything to do with rushing or releasing "sooner".
Leopard has issues, lots. But it's a great OS overall. Jumping from a "stable" tiger to an unstable Leopard is what might be annoying people. But the OS is great. It just fails in small (and not so small) things that used to work relatively well under tiger/panther.
I, for one, welcome the new finder with love, the fact that samba shares are now "almost properly" handled is a ++ for those of us who happen to have other Samba/Windows machines hanging around.
