As someone working in IT I'd say it's always much, much better to be sure that the code is good rather than trying to push to reach a deadline and forgetting something important. Of course this is just my opinion, but the way I see it is that PoS being delayed a couple of days due to auditing and testing might be a minor annoyance, but missing a bug would be a huge problem.

One of Naut's main selling point is confidence in things being done correctly. With most coins one has to be on guard to make sure that the devs don't sell a hidden premine, the creator losing interest and abandoning the project or something crazy like that, but with Naut one can be sure that things will be handled professionally. Therefore I think it's better for Naut's image and longterm growth to let things take their time. Telling investors "The update might take a little longer because we will audit the code to make sure that your investment is safe" is worth much more than any new update in the long term.

Just my 2 Nauts, I've (and it seems like the entire community) have complete faith in you and the devs making the right decisions
