I see the big problem is the Maddox team/1c is not controlling properly the community (costumers) speculation...
They are creating speculations and destroying at the same time, what brings costumers frustration.
If they start from the beginning saying the patch gonna take 3 months (or some other date, more than big enough time span, to have it complete) this means creating just little speculations, people would just get a lot annoyed, but would stay watching the clock waiting for the release to come out and get released (making expectations), and if they release it before the date, people would just jump of happiness.
However the maddox/1c, it's giving a "hopeful date", or a "we think date" but for customers there is no hopeful date, for us customers, the speculation date of the release, is the real date of release and for programmers that date, is the hopeful date of "if everything goes right" what in a such complicated world never happens.
All of this blame and unhappiness is not fault of the programmers or core team, but of the one's that are "controlling us", the one's that should just give us the info that we should have to know at the right time.
I like the way the maddox work, they take a lot of in put of the community, what is really good in such project as this one, but for that they gotta share information, and that information creates speculations, and they must control those speculations! This is the kind of knowledge the project manager/commercial relation team knows, but is not applying.
All this storm could be avoided.
Just one thing B6 could you share some new Screen shots of the BoM?
