We all know that and accept it -- the thing is that they missed their
deadline, that's the only reason people are wondering if they came to
a conclusion yet.
They've missed their deadline twice and we haven't been given a third
deadline (although I don't blame them for wanting to avoid pinning
themselves down if they aren't sure they can manage it!). We have no
idea when we can expect a result, which is what prompts threads like
this.
I think the
big reason why people are antsy is that things get
more expensive the closer we come to W-Week.
Not really. The dates aren't usually finalized when the location is
announced (take Wikimania 2009 for example), and I doubt a few days
will make a big difference for a flight a year from now. :-)
I agree, as long as they don't take too much longer it shouldn't cause
any problems with the conference itself. If it is closer to a few
weeks rather than a few days, then it starts to be an issue, but I'm
optimistic the jury will get there soon!
