How do you know? Last word was "March at the latest". Anything earlier is speculation.

If someone bought a device for £500 and it has serious bugs, especially if they feel they can't use something they paid that much for, it's understandable that people want fixes soon after they are written and tested, not months after they are written because of a opaque company's methodology.

It's not unreasonable to complain if the delays are arbitrary, and to make positive suggestions if the delays are unnecessary.

That's the point of asking - are the delays arbitrary or unnecessary. What is the process going on? Can it be improved using experience of Linux distro communities?

The issue under scrutiny here isn't the time for these processes. Anyne working in this kind of field knows these things take as long as they do. If it's frustrating to some people, tough.

The issue is "what's the process - what's happening?" and "is there a better way?"
