I assume that you're very frustrated, but please apologize for this.
I am neither stupid or irresponsible. To my knowledge, neither is anyone
else who's been advocating that we ship a 1.0 release like many of us have
always intended to do.
Software teams that don't draw a feature line never ship.
Software products that never ship are, in the long run, doomed to fail.
You have every right to diagree as passionately as you'd like, but you have
no right to be rude about it.
