Can someone give an explanation why development of
units are so difficult,
or what seems to be the problem? Is there anything other people can do?
It seems to me like this has a serious feature creep...

We have done the minimum version and deployed it. You're able to enter
and retrieve information with quantities and units. Now that the
minimum is in place other things got higher priority. That was/is
mainly data quality, properly linking to other sources in out export
formats and a UI cleanup including separating out identifiers. Those
are still in progress. Once we've brought those further along we'll
pick up the remaining work for units as well.
The main thing that is left now is unit conversion for the query service.
