If we had something we could ship, we'd ship it. We don't. That's 
unfortunate, but talking about how undesirable release slips are does 
nothing to help improve that situation. We know they're undesirable, but 
so far nobody has proposed a workable solution that actually makes them 
less likely to happen in future without massively compromising other 
parts of the project.
