They have been on holiday. CCP needs a break too every once in awhile. This also means they are pushing back the 1.8 update as well. Instead of its expected delivery date.

Instead of its expected delivery date. I highly doubt they wouldn't account for the holidays. There's absolutely nothing unexpected about them.
Sometimes, development or R&D companies like to surprise their employees with vacations. So, yes, sometimes it can not be accounted for.

Yea, but are you a programmer/designer/well paid employee of a gaming company?

Dust has and forever will be a Beta game. Before you go off and say "then whats the point?" understand that this is the way CCP works. They want to build a game for the player base they are looking to draw in. Take for example EVE, their widely successful open universe spaceship fighter. I am certain that in the first few years of EVE, they had all kinds of players. Players who were not exactly interested in a menu driven combat system.
Now lets look at DUST514, their moderately successful strategic First Person Shooter. What does EVE teach us about DUST? That before we can get to the good stuff, the content we all have been waiting for, CCP needs to sort through ALL the data that ALL the players are generating so they know in what direction the game needs to go in to make it go from a moderately successful FPS, to a widely successful FPS.
If you want to play COD, which releases content every 4-6 months, go play COD. If you want to play BF that updates their content every year or so, go play BF. But if you want an ever evolving, constantly building, community driven First Person shooter that is about the community and not about making money, stay on DUST.

That is not what I was talking about in the exact parity of EVE to DUST. What I was saying was how the game was developed over time instead of how the game was made, released then remade, and re-released with an updated version number. The game evolves and it requires time. And I think that every so often, especially around the holidays the Devs who work hard on this game and get paid in those donations should be given a break. Keep to the point.
