Yeah, I remember a distribution delaying their "stable" release for about 
three years. And the finished product didn't have working sound in videos so 
they used a mac for the Toy-Story-videos during the release party on 
LinuxTag... When they tried to blame it on the Linux-Audio-Community we left 
the stage under protest...

Sometimes its good to postpone some features for later releases.
