is THIS why the 6.2 release seems stalled ?

You shouldn't! If you are that taken back - you certainly don't need the
issues of a project that does not deliver on it's promises.

On the other hand - feel free to use Microsoft's products because we all
know that they tend to keep promises AND, as a extra bonus, create an
ultra secure OS that never fails. And as an extra extra bonus - you have
the luxury of paying a poop-load for all that ... and more!

So - with such an obvious choice (as mentioned above), you really don't
need the failed promises that this project routinely makes to you,
Nikolas Britton!
