I could see it increasing for a couple reasons. One being that the July release date was widely thought to be optimistic and even unlikely when announced, due to many seeing it as not being far enough to finish polishing. The date was made, but the polish may need a bit more time, and once it's there, I could see it having fewer kinks.
Another being that it's typical for it to take awhile for new releases of Windows to really hit their stride - the old "wait for the first service patch" adge. And while it's true that continuing to add new features in Windows 10 will introduce more bugs, unlike in Seven and earlier where features were rarely added, Windows 10 is still a big-bang release like traditional Windows. So even if you don't count the July release as surprisingly early, the traditional day-one jitters can still be expected, and I'd expect it to stabilize at a more SP1-level of issues once Microsoft has been working on Ten for a couple quarters.
