To be fair, I'm not sure the delay is due to the complexity of the code so much as it is how delicate and important the system in question is. Even small amounts of code can have bugs in them, and I can only imagine how much more thorough the testing cycles are for big updates, not to mention expansions, compared to hotfix patches. Which is more than a valid consideration.
