So there is no rush for them to set the final nail to IL2's coffin(4.09) right now.

That's all a bit paranoid isn't it? A bit of a marketing conspiracy-theory? It's worth remembering the history of the series and the plethora of free patches that has supported the game's development across the years, helping to turn this sim into a competition-blowing work of art.
(It may not be be enough for the "it's never enough" crowd, but it seems pretty comprehensive to me)

I don't think the release is being purposely held up for marketing reasons. When SoW-BoB goes gold there'll be a rush to buy it, period.
The 4.09 patch will arrive when it's ready and tested thoroughly. There may also be a few issues related to the hacks, like for new purchasers of the DVD who've been suckered into the modding thing, and any failures for the patch to load properly as a result.

Any Day Now!!!

Click the link above and use the following lyrics


Any day now I will hear you say ‘4.09 is done’
And it’ll be on the way
Then my wild beautiful bird, you will get flown, woah
Any day now, 4.08m left all alone, whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

Any day now, when your restless eyes see Slovokia
Oh, to my glad surprise
Then the blue Folke Wolfs will fall all over town, woah
Any day now (any day now)
Oleg will not let me down (any day now), whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa

I know I shouldn't want a patch
If 1C don't want us to stay-ay
Until you're gone forever
I'll keep holdin' on to Il2 for dear life
Holding on this way
Begging you for the patch today

Any day now, when the clock strikes 'Go?
"Patch here today"
And then my tears will not flow
Then my wild beautiful bird, you will get flown, woah
Any day now (any day now)
Oleg will not let me down (any day now), 'cause 4.09 will be around

Then the blue Folke Wolfs will fall all over town, woah
Any day now (any day now)
Oleg will not let me down (any day now), 'cause 4.09 will be around

Any day now, 4.08m won't be around
Ooo-ooo-oo
(Any day now)
No no no no no no
4.08m won't be around
(Any day now)

SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PILOTS HAVE TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS...
