No one was demanding an immediate release. They were just asking for some form of communication. Their expectations were set for a release back in June. That date came and went without any information. A month and a half later, it takes someone asking about it just to get "real soon" as a reply.

For the 1.2 release, they posted every week with a detailed update of when they thought the RC would drop, what bugs were holding it back, and what areas needed the most help. Each week, you could see them getting closer, and when they got delayed, you understood why.
