I agree, some updates would be nice to be released earlier (like having the hardware keyboard language switch working, for instance :-( ) but remember that this software wil come packaged with the device so everything work together in concert out of the box.
Of course it can be complex but it is not always. Maemo is more like a Linux distribution than one single binary. If you do modify libc, you're better to test a lot of stuff as almost everything has dependencies with it. But if you fixes for two applications which are not related..

Application is ready to release - run all possible test for it and the system -> they work -> release the application. Another application is ready -> run all possible test for it and the system -> they work -> release the application. Nokia has weekly builds and I'm quite certain that some poor bastard are testing from week to week the same applications which haven't had any changes..
