These specific topics are mainly a problem of en.wikipedia, not *.wikipedia. de.wikipedia has other troubles and one of it is the problem that often german language news agencies are saying "they promised $technical-novelties long time ago, but failed to keep that promise up to now". And this is at least partly our fault cause we quite often said curious reporters what we are dreaming about and not so much about novelties that currently happened (for example the Gadget extension from Duesentrieb has quite some impact on editors, not on readers, but it is probably too techie to be of interest for news people ;-).
With the delays, a lot of the problem is the Foundation's two technical employees, Brion and Tim, being waaaay busy with fundraiser and moving (St Petersburg to San Francisco). So when people ask, I've been saying "two technical employees, fundraiser duties, sorry for delay, give us money and it'll be faster ;-p"
