Nope, point out things that are broken. Things that can be improved should go on the backburner for the next release, or else requirements creep will prevent it from ever being done. I know what you mean, just pointing out that things need to bound in order to complete.
And I think there is a good point that those of us who are waiting as freeloaders (I know we don't really rate as customers) just want to let the devs know their work is appreciated and there are people waiting for them to finish, as politely as we can. It's hard to feel motivated on something that you think no one cares about, and we do!

If you want to help speed up the next release, take a look here ;):
Want to add here that even people without almost any experience regarding computers could help:
Take a walk, enjoy the nature & record some interesting sounds for UFO:AI with your mp3 player:

SCREAM INTO A MICROPHONE (yes, as simple as that ;)):
http://ufoai.ninex.info/forum/index.php?topic=1527.msg34776#msg34776
Use your synthesizer & record some cool sounds:

Again I can only tell you to take a walk & enjoy the niceness of spring, this time using different terrain & with finding a method to get good samples of yourself walking, running & jumping around (Do not forget to document your records ;)):

Or if you are rather the destructive type of person :D:

Or maybe you are the creative person, you can send sketches & drawings also, there is always a way to integrate cool looking & theme-fitting stuff:

Here you can find very simple tasks, designed for those of you, who do not have much time, but still feel the need to help making this project better:

You want 2.3 out ?! - go give yourself a kick & do something productive ;)
... or wait & stay a passive spectator ::).

Have you considered doing a beta/preview release? Or, if the word beta is a bit strong, just call it a release candidate. Will help get some early feedback on the any immediate problems, alleviate pressure from people who want a new release, as well as make the final release a bit better by helping focus on the issues that will affect players the most.
It'll also help generate more publicity. Multiple releases make more noise than a single release. ;)

Our stable releases are beta releases the final one will be far ahead in time. Release candidate would mean we don't change anything but polishing. Anyway we have those builds you're asking for - by contributors -see the sticky topic in win forum.
