They didn't just ignore the release date, they made a post giving a reason for the delayed, and gave you another expected timeline. Do you think the Gateway team wanted to miss the release date? I guarantee you they had a talk and decided it was in the best interest of the users, and the Gateway team to delay the release. Nobody is happy about this, it's just the way things like this work. Just try to see it from their point of view.

download a page monitor add-on/extension that will tell you when they update.
Based on what we know it seems like the Gateway 2.0 update will require users to change some of the code on the Red Cart's chip itself in order to introduce the new features.
This is based on Gateway's claims that the clones do not have updateable chips and thus will be unable to make further releases.
This is very different from previous updates where only the launcher.dat really needed to be updated.
When you are talking about updating the code on the chip itself, the update had better be solid as a rock. Otherwise you will risk an epidemic of people bricking their Red Carts.
They would need to fool proof the update to minimize the number if people irreversibly breaking their carts. We already know from the debacle of people accidentally updating their 3ds firmware by trying to update their emuNand without first going over the manual that people can not be relied upon to follow standard procedure.
I for one appreciate that the Gateway team is taking extra time to make sure the update is as stable as possible to minimize the risk of customers bricking their carts. If people already start to get their panties in a twist because a few are upset over a delay in release dates, imagine what it would be like when even a small minority of people get their carts bricked because the update is not fool-proofed.

That shouldn't be a problem. If the red cart update is performed through launcher.dat, and not the red cart itself, it should be easy to fix any bricks.
"-Integrated menu system"
Can anybody take a guess what this means? Integrated into what?
I'll take a couple of stabs. One could be since they have fat32 working, they could place the menu code on the Red cart's sd or maybe even the cart's firmware. Two, maybe 3ds firmware integration (home henu icon), but that's a looonng shot.

I hope they are clever enough to have been working on a menu from the Home Menu, but as you said, it may be asking a lot. Still could be the reason they have taken too much time working on Multirom and card2 support.
Gateway just updated their page again and removed the sentence that said "Create your own roms" just in case anybody ask's about that later.

you want to complain about a software release delay, fine. There are already tons of messages everywhere for that, and for each update there are similar messages.
But don't fight and insult other users.
Maybe we should create a thread "complaints about flashcart's delays and features", it would be a huge success, and leave the informative threads to their purposes.

May I ask why this board is so draconian that we can't make petty jokes/comments? Also, I've never seen a more bigger circle jerk than the Gateway one. Can they maybe get their own board?

That will only create more place to moderate, as users don't read and post where they want. They will only have more place to post the same thing and have more duplicated threads.
Jokes are fine, but after reading dozen of comments complaining about the delays and starting to insult each others, I doesn't look like joke anymore to me.
I don't delete comments about complaints and kids whining about their toy they can't get. I only try to focus them in a single place. We don't need the board to be filled with the same message for 3 pages. Other subjects have their places too, you need to think about users who want to find legit subjects and seek answers to set up their new flashcart too.

Mine was a US "launch day" unit and it came w/ 5.X on it (don't recall the exact version). I suspect all the North American black XL's to be on the same or higher firmware.
