The reality is that FS is caught between a rock and a hard place in terms of PR when it comes to release dates. Release a product too soon, and it's bug-ridden, and everyone whines about how they should have wated. Wait and try to deal with bugs, and everyone whines about how the other guy got it out sooner, why can't they? There's no winning.
