You're not wrong but this would maybe be a good time for the devs to rethink their release cycle.
Last update was 5 months ago and has major bugs that makes it unplayable for a lot of users. Perhaps moving forwards they should do more minor releases to address such bugs and keep target dates for major releases internal until they're fairly confident they can hit them.
Based on their last post they're already considering the latter but users would I suspect be a lot more understanding if the current release was more stable.
