Considering that we've been waiting for the new update as of late this sure is kinda a bad news for the community. As of now the price of ethereum is still on the safe light. But who knows about the investors, whether they'll take it as a good thing or the other way around.
But really, perfection takes times. They cannot just rushed things out and find lots of troubles/bugs at the end. People just want a good update because it will bring the best of ethereum if possible.
