Don't release iso with know bugs.
Well, if we strictly followed this advice we'd never, ever see a new openSUSE release. :-) A distribution comprising software on the order of a couple of hundred millions lines of source code always will have bugs, both unknown and known. It's the art of release management to steer in the right direction, let in what's beneficial and block the rest, and know when it's Good Enough[TM] As someone who has been doing this job in the past (alas for SLES, not openSUSE) I can tell you this is far from easy a job and Coolo has my full respect and trust. When to carve a release always is a judgement call and known bugs are just one factor, even if an important one.
