You obviously assume that delay in releasing it means that it's going to be more thoroughly tested (petitio principii falacy).
Judging by the sheer and truly astounding number of bugs cropping up entirely out of the woodwork (really?) and fixed in hastily released KB4490481 last Tue I would not be so sure.
Not intending to be argumentative, but you can't say there is a delay when there never was a date published to begin with. the 1903 nomenclature is only the time period when the core of the build was finalized. The CU last Tuesday is in keeping with the "D" cycle of updates, not "out of the woodwork". This one was delayed 1 week.
"The “C” and “D” releases occur the third and fourth weeks of the month, respectively. These preview releases contain only non-security updates, and are intended to provide visibility and testing of the planned non-security fixes targeted for the next month’s Update Tuesday release. These updates are then shipped as part of the following month’s “B” or Update Tuesday release."

Not intending to be argumentative, but I'm old enough to remember that the above-mentioned patch release schedule and approach somewhat differ from the original idea & plans for Windows 10.
(There's also some clue in the naming convention for all Windows releases' codes)
And I did not mean the patch coming out of the woodwork - I meant the list of bugs.

Bug fixes were probably a lot of the Feedback items they finally got to. Not all of them make it to "Known Issue" status. So perhaps they simply are tidying up the second tier of quirks. That's reasonable. Seems like a lot, but they build up over time and if not a priority get handled en masse.
No mention of what the version is going to be for this next FU scheduled to be released in May 2019, not even in the first page of his thread. Is it going to be Windows 10 Update 1903, 1904 or 1905?. Confusion, confusion...
The 19H1 part is clearly understandable, but that doesn't explain the name of the version part which initially was supposed to be Windows 10 update 1903.
That is a more acceptable explanation, but we will wait and see after the end of May 2019 what or how MS will sort it out.

I think MS has made it clear that it's still Windows 10 Version 1903, named 'May 2019 Update', currently code-named 19H1. There are three things, and it's just not all that complicated. There's the working code name: 19H1. There's the version number: 1903. There's the version name: May 2019 Update. The version number need not indicate the month of 'RTM'.
E.g., the version named 'October 2018 Update' had the version number 1809 and the codename RS5. They have changed the codename scheme from RSx to the date-related 19H1, 19H2, 20H1, scheme.
You guys are making it much more complicated and mysterious than it is.
