That attitude finished - not finished is OK in closed development where 
company set goals, write them in product specifications, develope and test 
it, and customer comes in when all is done. 

The opensource is public development where developers need users to test 
software as it is developed. 

If we would wait kernel to be finished and than start to use it, than kernel 
would be playgorund for developers forever and no user will ever get chance 
to use it. The same is valid for any other opensource project. If you look 
KDE3, is it finished? Where are specifications written before KDE development 
started that we can take and compare with resulting software?

As mentioned, if everybody will wait than there will be no D day.

Wait for what? Others to write and test software. 
I guess it would be fair to take your part in the development process. 
Use it and complain about things that you don't like.
