Seriously ?!?!? Why don't you :
- read the Jolla's statements about Sailfish is an unique mobile OS, so Sailfish OS 2.0 will be for smartphone and tablet ?
- read that Jolla work is 90% in software development ?
- count that there were 2-4 (2 large updates, 2 bug/hotfix updates) Sailfish updates since July ? 5.38 months / 2 = 2.69 months between updates, 5.38 months / 4 = 1.35 , both numbers well below 6 months between updates ?

You, I know, but I write because otherwise somebody will read your words and think Sailfish is just some Android variant. Sailfish/Jolla is unlike because :
- it has live miniature views of 4/9 (covers in home screen) running sotwares, like Maemo 5, MeeGo Harmattan, unlike Android, iOS, WP, etc;
- it has many desktop Linux features, like shell (bash, etc), GNU utilities, repositories and dependencies (so libraries and softwares are reused by other softwares), many programming languages (C/C++, Python, etc, which you can use on device), Terminal, etc, without any need of third-party software, unlike Android, iOS, WP, etc;
- it was the first mobile OS to have Qt 5, Qt Quick 2, Wayland, and it continues to be so, unlike Android, iOS, WP, etc;
- it supports Jolla Other Half covers, with in/out electrical connections (I2C communication, etc), totally unlike Android, iOS, WP, etc;
- etc.
