The showgirls are picky about who they let under the covers.  So I 
suppose we have to wait for the movie version to get the inside story...

It is just hard for an outsider to reconcile the statements about the 
build process not needing any changes or more resources with the lack of 
a target time.  Or that binary compatibility is the critical thing with 
the distribution becoming incompatible with 3rd party repositories built 
against upstream's current base.  Or that it is easy enough to do by 
yourself with problems delaying a release.  The parts just don't seem to 
fit together.
