This may be one of those 20/80 problems. The first 80% of the task  
takes 80% of the time. The last 20% takes 80% of the time too.

I expect he doesn't have a crystal ball.

This is not how companies work. Maybe the Project Manager gets  
reports, but I know of no company that gives weekly updates on the  
problems they're facing.

That's true. But did you hear that Canon have not claimed they are  
discontinuing the 1DS Mk II?

And them selling them as fast as they can make them?

And I think that spreading rumours based on software delays and the  
phase of the moon is irresponsible.

This is not intended as a flame - I respect your opinion and could  
understand DMR owner's possible irritation. I just think that, at  
this time, there is no reason to worry.
