As Matt announced a probable release of WordPress 2.0 on either 21st or 22nd December 2005, there were raised eyebrows & concerns at the WP-Hackers list regarding the upcoming Christmas and the flood of support questions(that usually comes with every new release) and unavailability of almost all of the support crew around Christmas.
After a somewhat quick round of debate, Matt finally agreed to postpone the release of WordPress 2.0 & now the probable date is 26th December 2005, which I again doubt is not set in stone, meaning it can be changed again. So hold on to your horses & wait for it!! 😉
