Ross has a bunch of half finished projects on his plate while he works on developing 03-05 support. Those projects are backing up and causing a far amount of support and customer issues, so he's decided to stop 03-05 development and clear his workload so he can work with a clear plate and fewer interruptions.
I'd guess he will be off the project for about 6 weeks. In that time 2013 gasser support will be delivered, and CSP will be finalised and released. He hopes to also make inroads on the new generation of GM ECM's.
Not the message you wanted to hear, but when you are constantly interrupted, nothing at all gets accomplished, at least this way there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and a couple of groups of customers get satisfied rather than no one getting any progress at all.
If development was moving along at a faster rate than it was, this wouldn't be the outcome, but at this point it's slow, and the project doesn't have a completion date.
Cheers
