Hannu didn't say he hadn't seen a patch punted. He said this was the
first time he knew he would have to wait another year for the feature
to arrive.
It's shocking since after months of work and an especially extended
edition CF, we expect people to deliver something, not just shunt the
whole thing off as rejected with 1 days's notice to alter that
outcome. Of course nobody can alter the outcome with such short
notice.
I don't care to hear the reasons, cos such excuses aren't good enough,
whoever they come from.
