[support] When D7 will be avaible ?

[Shai Gluskin]

Neil, I think "farce" is a real exaggeration and isn't fair. Anyone
scratching the surface at all in their research of Drupal would would have
easily discovered that CCK and Views were essential components and that they
weren't going to be ready for some time after D6 release.

I just can't believe that serious people make business decisions without
doing research. I think 15 minutes of research by someone completely new to
the community would have revealed exactly what the release of D6 meant.

I do think it was a PR problem and there was lots of disappointment. And I
think adjustments have been made.
