Since 2006 I counted 18 slips (I think one or two of those may just be a
single slip listed twice).  Lets not yell, lets not flame war, lets not
point fingers.  How can we fix this?  It's clearly not one group or one
individual or we'd just go talk to them.  This is a collective failure.

Since 2006 we've slipped at least 16-18 weeks by my count. That's more
than half of a full release cycle.

Thoughts?
