I dont blame the developers for loosing momentum. It seems to me as a
user that every time someone stands up and says 'OK lets get organised
about releaseing, what can we punt?' Someone else says 'noooo we aren't
ready lets delay till blah' I for one am getting annoyed at my KDE using
friends pointing out how KDE has gone through 2 major releases and
GNOME2 still isn't out. That in my mind will kill not only developer
interest/momentum but also user interest. 
Come on lets punt the bugs that dont need to be fixed and get it out the
door.
