Although it might not be of any real use in indicating when a version
would be ready, I think it helps a lot psychologically when people can
see that something is being done, even if it's discovering bugs that
will push back the release.

A lot of the anxiety seems to be about the silence about any kind of
progress. A tweet or post of that nature once a week takes maybe all
of 1 minute to send but would reduce a lot of the unpleasant noise I
see being tossed up on the forum and lists. I suspect it would be less
frustrating for the devs as well by reducing the amount of bitching
and offers of help they don't want at this point.
