Surely it must have been ready to ship in a major release of the most popular Linux distribution given that!
There were only minor glitches and it's run a whole two weeks on the damn founder's personal laptop! How could it have been declared not ready to ship three months, such a vast period of time, later!
The main problem area blocking the release is multi-monitor support. A regression there means it will break for some users, even though those who don't use this feature might have a huge improvement (such as mark did).
