I don't agree.

They absolutely need to get their shit together first, but I'd like to see them get Litecoin going by the summer.  They're going to be overtaken by some other company quite quickly if they don't.  The market has a demand for multiple coins.

+1. Without litecoins, they are forcing me to go back to fiat if I want to get out of the bitcoin game for a little bit while things cool off. On BTC-e, I can swap into litecoins, wait, then get back into bitcoins when i'm ready. That's only one of the benefits of having altcoins, it needs to happen on Gox.
+1. Litecoin is pretty much the only reasonably fast way to move money between exchances and services, and the only possible hedge that doesn't involve fiat. We need that asap in MtGox, but on a dedicated server please!
