Are people here still struggling with the language here:

Luthier: "So, barring more botanic discoveries, we’ll have it out no earlier than the end of the day Monday"

No earlier than = it will not be released before end of day Monday (i.e. will be sometime after Monday)
No later than = it will be released by or before end of day Monday

As a few have stated before this post, no earlier than the end of day Monday means it'll be released between 00:00 Tuesday morning and anytime after that....

Jeeeeezzzz,

No and yes. It is like writing 2.99€ instead of 3.00€ - actual difference is minor, but psychologically it is perceived bigger than it is. The same is with "not earlier than".

Hehehe. Actually, if you want to be pedantic about it 'no earlier than before end of day monday' does not preclude the possibility of it arriving at the end of day monday. It simply means 'at that time, or later'. Neeer Neeer.

Note, I'm just having a laugh, I'm not actually that anal lol. The obvious inference was that there was a possibility of it arriving end of day Monday, but not before.

Not arsed though. I'll wait a week as long as its good.

Luthier works for 1C. Clod is a product. If Luthier says "end of monday" the natural interpretation is that he means end of their workday.
And as Luthier and 1C operates in Moscow it's their timezone.
Now, the only thing we don't know is when their workday ends. I'm not russian but 08.00 - 17.00 seems to be standard business hours around the globe.

So I started this thread 1.45 hours before 17.00 moscow time. Most posts in this thread asking for the patch is AFTER 17.00 moscow time.

Crystal clear!!

Lol Dude he's right, no earlier is the clue... Luthier didn't say it would be out on Monday.
