As i see most people don't whine about a late release, but more about passed deadline just like this:
Hoenstly, i expected the first deadline to drop, because that's how projects work :). But now i got disappointed that they could not deliver. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what they are doing and i know they are no big company and don't earn money an bla bla, but if I see them make a mistake i feel free to say it. Letting a deadline pass hurts the community and even more the deveopers, thus the project. Of course setting a date pushes your productivity beyond limits, but it's just not worth it in my opinion.
P.S. Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.
