I'm just realistic. One security issue would derail me for a month. Everything is single threaded through me so it gets done when I can get it done. I just spent a half a week dealing with package distribution for example.

I've been making further changes to the APIs to support things the SP needs, so with that continuing it's in my best interest to do that release at the same time or just before in case anything else pops up that I need it to do.

If there are things not checked in I can look at them, but anything that breaks older systems I can't do unless somebody else does all the necessary testing to ensure it doesn't break anything.
