I repeat the same text from Jolla :

Due to the nature of the tasks at hand, the gap between releases may vary. It does not imply that we are intentionally slowing down -- on the contrary, we are ramping up with extreme dedication in the next few months to deliver a scalable, refreshed and coherent platform, requiring time and focus to make things right. In order to better support our goals, our internal QA setup has been further enhanced to allow working on multiple releases in parallel and keep release instances longer for possible updates at a later point in time.

The tablet just happens to be the first device to require a resolution-independent Sailfish.
they prioretized tablet over OS updates. To me that means they intentially slowing down the updates for other things like building an not really needed tablet(except for the North Americans). Now I unlike this tablet even more. Its in between us and our software updates

That's how I see the tablet. As a demonstration to OEMs that Sailfish can work on multiple screen resolution devices.
BUT!... Making it screen resolution independent? Isn't it a bit too late for that? I thought it was independent to start with. At least that's how I write software. Completely screen size and resolution agnostic (same applies to other parameters, not just the screen). If it is important for applications, it must be many folds more important for the OS.
So when I hear all this talk about "working on making Sailfish scalable", my first reaction is, "BS, surely it is scalable already!" All this talk must be either a language barrier or a smoke screen for the masses to buy Jolla some time to work on what they are really doing.
Either that or they have made some really, really terrible design choices at the beginning.

What would have been the point of, for example, coding a wider browser toolbar with more buttons on it before now?

I think the timing is about right on their startup trajectory.

I don't think this is that unreasonable as they're small. However it is very worrying that they claim to be only doing this now .. that clearly demonstrates that they haven't been close to signing any partnerships with third parties, nor were they capable of doing so.

Oh, and there's no evidence of any (enabled) UI scaling ... don't think the Nexus 5 porters have been able to do anything, despite having a 5" 1920x1080 screen to play with.
Besides, only after the Qt update debacle did they decide to institute the ability to properly branch and roll forward / back the Sailfish development tree. Something you would have imagined that a company working on an OS would do from its founding days ... far more so than UI scaling and resolution / screen size independence. Lack of preparation in general seems to be a theme. It was a bit disconcerting to hear that the hardware adaption team were 'surprised' to recently learn that Intel use UEFI for their mobile products.

Scales nicely out of the box, however performance, pixelation, standards for developers so they can port their existing or future icons to svg or other scalable format, checks in store and probably lots else could have been skipped to ship device on time in 2013 and not in Feb 2014 or later
