While pre-release QA testing helps a lot, many bugs are filed and fixed directly after release, when suddenly many more "normal" users install that version. In the end, if we're guessing, I'd expect a kind of a plateau of least-user-visible-bugs to start a few weeks after release and continue for about half a year, until the next release happens and developers move on.
