It's been like 3 years, why do you have some illusion that its being rushed?

Three years of an all volunteer staff of what: 2? 5? *maybe* a few more? developers working a few hours a day in their free time. Compare that to the original SOE team of some large number of people, working 40 hours a week, and it still took them a fair amount of time.

Now of course that's not quite a fair comparison, since the P99 team is just re-implementing, not implementing, but still the point is you have to consider the limited resources available. And if you do, then it's reasonable to let the devs release on their own timetable instead of acting like small children constantly asking "is it ready yet? how about now? now?", which is what a lot of the Velous posts amount to.
