Eh, I chatted with the developers a bit a few days ago, they say there've been improvements. I'll take them on there word

Er, the specs for a shipped product are different than for a un-shipped product. Notice MicroB received frequent releases right up until Chinook shipped.

The "hype", if you want to call it that, has been from 3rd parties. The only real "hype" I've seen from "Nokia" was a few words in the maemo.org announcement.

SSU, as we have already witnessed, will encourage more half-baked releases from Nokia.
Technical issues aside, the process wasn't in place for that. But, whatever, you're obviously set on condemning Nokia. Far be it from me to try and stop you.
