early days of 2014
Since the main variable here is time, we can compare early days of 2014 with Day time, for example, I consider waking up before 11 A.M. early, so between 0.01 A.M and 11.00 A.M would be considered early, that's 45% of a day's time. In a year time, 45% would mean 164 Days, or roughly 5 months and 1/5.
My conclusion is, 2.0 firmware could be released from 1.Jan to 15.May, and it would still be considered early days of 2014.
I'm sorry, I'll have more sleep time today.
