As long as UW is working on NS2, they will always be improving on performance and balance. Beyond this, however, there are many enhancements that are being made - Linux support, new maps, etc. are great examples. Even so, UW stamina only goes so far. Perhaps as another incentive to reinforced would be to allow those who purchase badges (at/above a certain level?) to vote for the features/bugs that they wish to be worked on for the next major release. (Maybe the supplemental Onos badge that is being discussed could do this, along with anyone that has an Onos badge).
Obviously, UW already uses input from the forms/playtesters, but this would be an additional way to help determine what gets priority. Think of it as more literally voting with your wallet. Of course, not everything that gets voted for would be (or even could be) fixed by the release date.
