I think people who are not happy with the way things work with LFS shoud check what they have paid for.
They paid for a specific version of LFS at a timedate t=0 with the benefit of free updates to the product. They did not sign a contract where updates are published on a regular basis. You paid, you agreed to the rules, and the rules is that there may be or may not be future patches. Get over that. Scawen was very professional when he gave an "expected date of release" for the Scirocco, and he postponed it in a very manly way.
I can understand that some of the whiners deify Scawen, but, and I'm sorry for you guys, the only persons who are morally allowed to bear a grudge against him from hearing no news during a month are his employer (he has none, the one less problem!) and his wife/children (I don't think I take much risk when I state : you aren't his wife).
So get over it, find a social life, be manly by not whining, meet friends, have a couple of one night stands, ine one word : let the steam off, because Scawen's heart is already taken. (Im sure it will disappoint some of you whiners
)
We are by no way arselickers because we cheer on Scawen and what he does, because we like the product
as it is AND as it will be (while you are clearly over-turned toward the future), and because we also know that a happy worker is a more productive worker. Right know, the only people affected and harmed by your disappointment are only you, and because of that you are in no way to coerce him by your disappointment.
On topic : French and American (where I live now) ISPs are a pain in the glutes as well... So I feel you! Congrats for your new home, enjoy your place, work stress-free and profit from your liberties
(but please don't forget us ever ^^)
