We do not delay a release for any new feature, as we shoot for 8 to 10
week release cycle these days. For an important feature that we must avoid
painting ourselves into a corner that we cannot get out of if we screw up
the initial design due to possible backward compatibility issues, it is
even more true than other minor features.

This cycle is being delayed longer than anybody wishes for an external
reason, and unfortunately it does not mean we have longer period to
eyeball the topics in cooking due to that same external reason.
