This..
 
Put it another way, I prefer new bugs to be introduced quarterly, and disposed of monthly.

As it is now, very happy.

Ditto.
 
Reason: There are still lots of areas to fix/enhance.

Every few hours

Every time a developer saves a code file, even if it does not compile ... ;-)

Well, I didn't get the latest upgrade, because I just felt overwhelmed with new features that were coming too fast for me to keep up with.  For instance, I haven't really worked with the aux bus feature... or the Vocal Sync alignment (but plan to this week)... or the piano roll enhancements like the pattern tool.   I've had plenty of work interruptions... glitches that were not replicated later, crashes that I guess will not be fixed (Roland V-Vocal) or things that took time to stop and read the manual and search the forums to find an answer (like learning Audio Snap and take lanes) .  
Soooooo, I would prefer major concept introduction on a quarterly basis with more of an effort to find out issues related to workflow and conflicts and get these fixes out monthly.  It seems daw software has gone from a major annual or bi-annual update process with several fixes as needed, to a competitive race to get more, faster features than the competition.  I got last year's Platinum upgrade because of AD2 and Melodyne, along with other significant enhancements, which seemed to be well-integrated with the new upgrade.  It just seems now I'm not keeping up with the monthly thing.  jmho

So far I like it the way it is. I get to choose when, if not what I update. Although it is possible to somewhat selectively choose features via the CC.

Current model works for me.
 

The score so far:
 
Keep the current system 26
Monthly bug fixes + quarterly features 13
Other schemes 5
Frivolous answers 4

Strange question? As Mr. Anderton said, let's keep the monthly update and feel free to update or not!

It seems like a good time to close out the voting since the results have been fairly consistent for a while and it is likely that from this point onward the Thread would become more of a discussion.  I want to thank all those that contributed, especially for keeping on point and roughly within the guidelines so it was easy to tally the results.   A summary of the results so far are given below.  They can be summarised roughly as follows:
 
Of the users that voted, 2/3 prefer the present Monthly release of New Features and 1/3 would prefer Quarterly.
 
Ship when ready: 2
Every few hours: 1
Monthly: 28
Every 2 Months:  1
Quarterly: 14
Other? 4
 
If you were wondering what my motive was for asking everyone's opinion it was this: I wanted to quickly get a feel for whether CW might move to a Quarterly release model at some point which, after seeing the results, it is clear that it won't.  Sonar is one of 3 DAWs that could meet my particular needs (the others are Cubase 8.5 and Studio One 3).  I have been using Sonar for around 8 years after switching from Cubase and it has been very useful during this time but there are a few things I do miss from Cubase and I am at a point where I can make a change if needed.  Of course each of these products have different strengths and weaknesses and to my mind the Sonar Monthly update is a bit of a weakness.
 
Cheers and thanks.

It's not like there's a massive new feature set every month; some are already geared towards minor enhancements and bug fixes and others introducing more comprehensive features.
 
So yeah. Maintain the status quo.  Monthly.

I'm cool with the current way they are releasing new updates and features.

I look forward each month for new "goodies". I would hate to go back to a much slower update cycle. I agree with Vastman on this. I see no good reason to modify the current model. Unless of course its weekly.
