“Over the past six months, there has been a release every two weeks,” Pendergast said. “We’ll plan to continue that over the first few WordPress 5.0.x releases, to ensure that bug fixes are available as quickly as possible. How soon should we expect WordPress 5.0.1? Approximately two weeks after WordPress 5.0, unless we see bug reports that indicate a need for a faster release.”

This part concerns me. The Block Editor (nee "Gutenberg") is a fundamental change to everything users know about WordPress, and for the majority of WordPress users, 5.0 will be their first introduction. Whatever the intent, the quote reads as "beta test in production" which is an uncomfortable notion considering the sheer scale of WordPress. Yes, software developers expect bugs at release, but this sounds more like the modern game developer ethos of releasing unfinished work and using real users as beta testers. It is a known issue in game development and not something we should be adopting. In my opinion.
