Do you (all) realize you can only complain about this (falling so far
from their prediction), because they happened to give out some
estimate in the first place?
Sounds only reasonable to me to try to avoid the same situation by not
giving out estimations to begin with.

I think the difference to conventional products it that MySQL AB
strives to only ship a stable release, when the lack of bug reports
shows that it is stable, while a lot of other vendors ship on a (maybe
once shifted) release date, no matter what (some of them may have good
reasons to do so).
