Rails is not entirely a volunteer effort; my understanding is that at
least some of the core team (such as DHH) are paid by 37signals for the
specific purpose of working on Rails (am I wrong about this?). That
being the case, "they also have lives" is a lame excuse.
Besides, even if it were a volunteer effort, it's a major project. When
a blog post comes out on 2 June promising a release in a couple of days,
and it's now 24 July, I don't think it's inappropriate to get impatient
for a release or an explanation of the delay. Heck, if they asked for
help, they might get some, but this silence is bad if the core team want
to keep their credibility. Why should I trust a core team that can't
get its act together to take 2 minutes to write a blog post explaining
why the release was delayed?
To paraphrase:
What am I paying you guys for? I demand *my* money's worth!
