Except that's exactly the strategy that Apple has been holding on to for MacOS X. For most of 1999 they refused to even mention a release date. Whenever I saw an Apple representative demo the OS, they would slyly explain that the OS would be released when it was ready. I think they finally gave in and announced the March 24 ship date when investors started to get antsy and they knew they were close.
