The relentless pursuit of perfection is a pretty unrealistic goal for most of us, either as individuals or as corporate entities. Isn't there a danger though in producing too many "less than perfect" products? I think the threat of consumer backlash against perpetually incomplete products could be a real problem. Especially if they don't know they're supposed to be collaborating on the product with us. How do we mitigate that risk? BTW, what you described for a Google Traffic product... that's exactly how Google Live Traffic works.
