And to deliver in a real way requires that a a lot of “stuff” that has never been attempted before is completed - without errors. That lot of “stuff” has been whittled down to a fairly small list now and there are still areas in which it may make more sense to proceed in a direction other than what seemed obvious when the plan was conceived. Cos along the way more stuff got learnt or became obvious .
Again it can only be repeated - It will be ready when its ready.
Yes of course we all hope that is soon. But it will be ready when its ready and not before. If you want to help, then test what has been released, try to break it and if you are really good, try to find ways to fix it again. But pontificating about “you need to deliver” is going to get you treated like the rest of the loser trolls.
Aaaaand it might make more sense to complete an SLD as mentioned here that will inevitably cause some delay. Hopefully the community can minimise that but we dont know yet. Again I bet this is something no other project has ever had to tackle before. Should it have been done before? Yeah maybe it should. But we are where we are. So lets try to find constructive ways of moving forward.
EDITED to point to the SLD issue
