I've never seen the developer suggest that releases are longer because
they don't remember how the last one was finished.
The point that Dag and I were trying to make, I think, was simply that
your expectations are unrealistic.
Unrealistic expectations aren't helping anyone. They're not good for
users, and they breed frustration when they're not met.
A lot of the conversation in that thread was centered around the highly
contentious issue of whether or not the release delays constitute a
problem. That's a separate issue, which everyone should evaluate based
on their own needs. However, no one can properly evaluate that question
without realistic expectations regarding the time required to produce
releases and patches.
