I can understand the frustration but at the same time I can live with the lack of updates concerning the 29.    
I'm sure ED will do a great job with the 29 as it has done with the 27 and it will be worth the wait.   
Plus I can hold off getting trackir for a while yet as well ;) until the 29 gets a new cockpit.   
I'm dreaming of XMas but theres plenty to look forward to if it doesn't happen this year.
