Imo the issue of a time line (estimated or actual) is immaterial to the original point made up thread (the role of tests in determining a compiler's compliance to a language specification).
The issue is whether P6 advocates are honest in their advocacy. Pretending that the goal was always to create a sister language or that the intent from the start was always to take 15+ years to release a stable version or that the intent was always to define P6 as a specification and test suite or that a cross-platform VM wasn't a goal from the start is dishonest.
