There's always "just one more bug".  If the FreeBSD Project waited until
the code was bug-free there'd be no releases at all.

It's the Release Engineering team's job to make the call on which bugs
are worth holding up a release for and which aren't, when workarounds
are acceptable and when they need to try to pursuade a developer to
diagnose and implement a real fix, etc.  They need to use their
judgement about a number of factors such as severity, number of users
impacted, availability of developers, and so on.  The schedule is also a
factor, but it's never just for the sake of adhering to the schedule.
