I disagree. This is not true from a 'user perspective' at all. Unless
a user is totally ignorant - you don't expect a new building to just
*poof* out of thin air and have it ready for use the same moment ?
Construction takes time. Careful and good construction takes more
time.

Just because you're not actively watching the construction site
(source-changes@), actual implementation work is still being done
(patches committed) to build the building (WPA support, in this case).
It is true that WPA is not available as a feature to end users. That
doesn't mean people aren't working on it. You've been pointed at
several sources that show there is work in progress. It's just that :
work in progress. Not finished yet.

I think quality is high priority. At least, that's the reason why I
use OpenBSD. Features will be done when they're done by people who are
interested in them that have both the skills and the time to make it
work.
