To all of our loyal supporters we are sure this comes as no surprise, but the first Milestone test has been delayed. At this point in time Cairo is not where we want it to be and in the interest of making the most of our first test, have pushed back the alpha. At this point we cannot make a guess about a release, but we are working diligently to get Cairo out.
I know what you all must be thinking: will we ever see Cairo? Is Cairo worth the wait? Whole-heartily: YES! Vaporware we are not. The whole team is disappointed that we needed to pull an Apple and delay what we know you are all waiting patiently for, but we echo the sentiments of many forum members who would rather have a stable, feature rich milestone instead of, well, the opposite.
I know many of you are also confused by our lack of information disclosure, but that’s how we must roll until we can realistically divulge information without the threat of imitators. As always, we appreciate your support and welcome any suggestions to help make the time go by faster. (Perhaps a forum contest and the winner gets a custom title?) Just throwing that out there.
-Best,
The Cairo Team

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Don’t be afraid of imitators, be proud they imitate you.
Anyway, it’s a wise decision not to rush a shameful alpha out the doors. Take your time, and just make sure your loyal fans are updated, if you don’t want to see them go away.

It’s ok, it’s cool.
At my work in the construction industry there are always delays.
But! It’s always better to provide something stable and usable!
Keep on going, I’ll be waiting!
Greetings!

Does this mean we can still get on the testers list?

No sorry. We are going to stick with our original 200.
