I disagree. This will defuse the bang.
I think that unfortunately there's never going to be much of a bang on Windows, because it is always just downloading the available file, not coming installed with a new distro/system.
There is a chance for a bang on Linux, maybe twice. The thing is that to make any bang, we need to act quickly for Linux. From a marketing perspective, I'm thinking distro reviews, which tend to itemise at least some of the new apps, will be helpful. There is no such equivalent for Windows or Mac.
As such, I don't mind the bang for Linux followed by less of a bang for Windows, but what I do mind is a strong negative, like severely crippled release versions on any platform.
Is there any way to get the release into the freeze versions of Fedora and Ubuntu on time, but still do the proper Inkscape launch only with the proper launch of the earliest of those distro's? By then all the bugs will probably be sorted on all platforms...
