How can it appear to be ^frozen^? Then maybe you are not subscribed to the right lists. I doubt anybody would continue to pay the developers, unless they do very well plan to release *something*. Maybe the delay has to do with polishing justice related aspects, licenses and so on. The price list, the type, duration and price tag of future support contracts, all that stuff. Everything is mere speculation. Except for the FACT, that the engineers are still doing their jobs, that is: PUBLICLY. How much more do you want? The distro? Everything that it takes to create one is openly available. USE IT. Or let´s just wait a bit. During my life experience I learned one thing for sure: Distrust and impatience DESTROY EVERYTHING. > My analogy on this situation is like the drug pusher giving drugs to kids > for free knowing when he stops giving it for free the kids will be addicted > and will agree to pay for it.
