Yes, they should have notified the public regarding any delays... especially since they came out Nov 19 03 to state that they were SURE it would be available last year Dec. I was sent an email stating that D|S was ready and given an opp to join the Plat club - but it was never said that I had to join Plat to get D|S - unless you read between the lines. Also they shed great importance on the NEED to get D|S ready as SOON as possible by many of us testing it as soon as possible. It would appear to me... that a public release would be the best option to get a masses test it ~ but hey, what do I know?
