I think we need to learn how to have patience. The developers told us from the bigenning that they will work on their own pace and nothing will be rushed out. So I don't have any problem with the timer I think you should have learnt all this by MTGox. We all now that MTGox is biggest exchange and to get big you have to think even bigger.
I think that the comments about the timer are becoming a bit unnecessary, but I can't really blame anyone for complaining about the delay.
In regards to the delay, we aren't getting Gox'ed here. I don't like that they extended the release, but they will stick to it.
