Publish 18 actually begins for us a new type of publishing schedule, wherein well try for smaller publishes that come out more frequently. Publish 18 may seem a little large, but that's because we're using it to wrap up a number of items we've had on our plate for a few months.

As far as fixing one bug at a time and publishing that into the game, that wouldn't be practical. What we'll always need to do is group a handful or two of fixes together, test them simultaneously, and then move them into the live game before switching to the next group of fixes. The testing and publishing processed aren't simple or convenient enough to justify one bug per publish, so that's why we handle them in groups.
