Sounds like the issue was, or could have been bad enough that they decided to deal with it ASAP.
I woke up early and wanted to go sleep again after I read my news and what do I see? 11.2 is out, goodbye sleep 
I know that building software is nothing easy. But what the heck is Apple doing? This iOS 11/ macOS 10.13 release are pretty awful releases.
Can you imagine if Apple built cars and its software is as buggy as its current phone/tablet or computer software? I wouldn‘t want to use the car.

Didn’t iOS 10.3 beta 1 come out after the holidays last year once 10.2 was released? It was a gap from December to January before the first beta was released.I am happy they dropped it early though because that means 11.3 is also preponed and we may get it next week as opposed to two weeks later
Edit:
iOS 10.2 officially released: Dec 12
iOS 10.3 (Beta 1): Jan 24
But, we shall see...
iOS 11 has more frequent updates than 10, not to mention 10.2 was released around Christmas while this time it’s been released quite a few weeks before Christmas.
Actually it doesn’t have more releases.
Edit: it does. It’s 7 and 8 releases.
iOS 10 to 10.2 were 7 releases.

You can delete the iOS 10.0.1 release as iOS 10.0.0 was never available. Apple shipped directly iOS 10.0.1...
Huh? I thought iOS 10 was released then later on that day 10.0.1 was released? I remember there was some major bug that Apple was trying to fix.
The initial release for iPhone 6s and below (all iPads and iPod touch) was iOS 10.0.1 . iPhone 7 and iPhone 7plus shipped with iOS 10 but needed to be updated prior setting up the device.
Can somebody attempt to explain the wtf’s?
Were more bugs introduced during the betas that haven’t been resolved? Or they were introduced and 11.2 resolves them?
Or is it just an unexpected day?

Interesting. Pretty sure my 6s upgraded to iOS 10 on that day but my coworker iPhone 6 was having issues upgrading to it and he had to use iTunes to get it to work.
Unexpected day and time in addition to being released less than 24 hours after a beta. This was all due to the notification loop/December 2nd bug.
Just one big WTF basically.
10.0 was a GM (beta) so you could have had it if you were on the beta channel. But official release day it was 10.0.1.
10.0.1 Release

10.0 GM (technically 10.0.1)

10.0 PB7/DP8

This is like waking up after an evening of heavy drinking, then peering next to you and going, “WTF happened last night?”
Thanks. Interesting. I thought I upgraded to iOS 10 OTA (Release Day) then later on, I got a notification for 10.0.1 (Release Day) being available. There was some type of bricking issue affecting a small amount of users trying to upgrade to iOS 10. It didn’t affect my device. At least I don’t recall.
I think we can now safely put to bed the response “Apple has always [or Apple has never] done x....” to any argument about what they’ll do next. Virtually nothing is off the table now!
My guess they had to react. I do not know what would have happened if iPhone/iPad users were unable to use their device over the weekend (three full days). Luckily it happened on a Friday and not on a Saturday..
In general it was a pretty bad week for Apple and their software quality...
Nothing off the table but that doesn’t mean history isn’t useful as a guide.. these were extenuating circumstances after all
