Does this mean we won't have a fully open OS by the end of this month? Some people here must be shocked at this turn of events.

That's not what happened, I recall the exchange you had with szopin (IIIRC?), he didn't claim it was coming then, you suggested that's what the official company line was & he clarified what it really was (IIRC you refused to agree despite the interview with a co. rep. -not a gov't official- that he referenced); i.e. there's plans for a time-line, but no plans to release/announce it yet, but they hope to "soon". That's my vague recollection, I'll leave szopin/you to dig-up the actual exchange for the full detail. Yes their statement is -once again- vague as hell, but it's a confirmation at least that there's plans afoot for more opening, something they'd not said anything about for a very long time.

I think you know very well what the answer is ...

Well, I don't, which is why I'm asking for insights from more than just one user, ideally a user who happens to be an active dev in at least 1 of those 2 communities.
