What's the difference between "When it's ready" and "It could be a while yet"? The former seems more descriptive to me (indicates that there's no fixed date, instead of suggesting that perhaps there is and you're just not being told).
Indeed. "When it's ready" may not be very precise, but it _is_ accurate. There have been some pretty major changes to the code since the Wikimedia servers were last updated, not the least of them being the rename of the Image namespace to File. Presumably the next update will happen when things have settled down enough that brion and others feel it's safe to do it without a bazillion things breaking.
Which reminds me that v1.14 is also overdue for release. Perhaps what we'd need would be a temporary feature freeze, with commits to trunk restricted to fixing breaking bugs until everything is stable enough for a release.
