Ok, so what happened is:

Sun development (who produces these images) was shutdown Christmas
through New Years.  As such, imports for builds later than 101b (which
is what 2008.11 shipped with) weren't being done.  When the import
process started up again 105 was available and so we started with that.
Now, 105 had an issue (iirc) when it was made into a LiveCD and so the
decision was made to not push those images.

So, images will still be released when appropriate and when they are
reasonably free of show-stopping bugs (as we've done all along since
2008.05).  The current delay is merely a hiccup based on a confluence of
circumstances.
