So we should focus on getting more development done. Promising we'll release when ready means alexl has to code the rest plus distributions will use beta stuff. I think you misunderstand the message by Andre as truth and not as "let's get some developers into action". It was overstated so more devs would help[1]. There is already some more dev work going on.
