Instead of delaying, just release the updates when they are ready.

Simple as that, it will avoid community rage and a number of other things.

Simply releasing the updates, without announcing them would anger the community as well, as there will inevitably be someone firing up DCS to do quick flight who gets upset becuse of a surprise update. so I think you should change the title to 

"Instead of delaying, just announce the updates when they are ready."  I understand the need for an ETA as it enables people to plan their DCS activities,

I'd assume that the 'when they are ready' part is the exact reason for delays.

"just release the updates when they are ready" - that's exactly what they do. When found "not ready" there's a delay.

I think the suggestion is "don't announce release dates", but they're already announced on a short notice, and not doing that at all would be annoying, too, particularly for people who don't have a fast internet connection that can download a 100GB patch in a few minutes (which is a lot of people around the world, particularly outside major cities).

Bottom line up front: You cannot please everyone, nor should you try! IMHO, ED does all that they can but there will ALWAYS be those that can and will find a way to complain.
