Ya, I think this is a great insight. In today's world, code is not released as a versioned artifact sold on a disc or downloaded. The idea of "shipping" is fuzzy. You might be 100% in production with some change and it could still leave edge case, deficiencies, etc. You can decide to address them now or later. And it's all just perception. You can say it's good enough, we shipped, let's forget about this whole thing and move to another. Or you can keep ironing out the quirks.

I've "shipped" things in the past that were turned on to less than 1% of the time, and we left it at that, and moved on to other things. It was considered "shipped". Everyone was worried to increase it to beyond 1%, so we all patted ourselves in the back for the great launch and went to work on other things.
