I totally understand the frustration with the current system especially as I have been following and collecting the feedback for quite a few months now. By all means be frustrated at things that warrant it (like the time taken to get here)!
I get the upset with the announcement as well. As we are coming back off a break, there isn’t much I am able to communicate for now. I thought it best to give an update on what I could rather than delay the comm-link or wait until next week for the dev blog.
and hey, at least a date is slightly better than next week !
