To be more accurate some people are upset at the dubious timing of some MorphOS news items.  I have been forwarded IRC chat transcripts which (if genuine) show that as sad as this is, there is at least occasional coordination to sink OS4 news items down the list.


All of the announcements on the official MorphOS website refer to software releases that had been planned on average for multiple weeks, sometimes months. The only exception is the latest SDK update which replaced the public beta version rather quickly.

In fact, I will go as far as to say that prematurely releasing a MorphOS OS update to coincide with news from whomever is completely out of the question. There are strict quality assurance rules in place which have never been broken since 2.0 was first introduced. If anything, updates might be *postponed* if serious issues are being discovered by testers or developers within a few weeks before a scheduled release.

Third-party releases from individual developers are a different story. I cannot possibly have insight into all of those. But as far as official MorphOS news items go, timing has absolutely nothing to do with any outside influences. There have never been official announcements of future announcements either...
