I would assume 100% of the users would update. Yet maybe 1% know how to reflash their device. Imagine the troubles that would create.
PR 1.0 was buggy. PR 1.1 was buggy. PR 1.1.1 is still very buggy. I know what you are trying to say but you know also that PR 1.2 will be buggy. OTA update is definitely a concern but really, they cannot cater for everyone as some will have 100+ apps installed. Many from extras-devel.

So why not release 1.1.2 , 1.1.3, 1.1.4, 1.1.5 weekly or daily builds like Fennec? Nokia can easily make a different repository for the daily/weekly builds if they are worried about every mums and dads updating. Heck, I don't care if they don't provide OTA update for these pre-mature builds. I'm willing to fully reflash my phone with every new alpha/beta update if it's worth it.

Definitely better than waiting 4+ months to get a fix/enhancement which was completed 3-4 months ago.....
