That's called real life and we all understand that so no worries :)
As I always keep reminding myself and everyone within every project I'm
part if: it's a community project and one should not do the entire thing
all by him/her self.

My dear brother, I'm super confused and puzzled here!

Why exactly are we working on Trusty and we have NOT YET released 1.0 that
is based on 12.04.5?

May I remind you that we have until April 2017:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Until 12.04.5 be 100% out of the game?!

May I also remind everyone that we've been working for so long but we
haven't yet actually released 1.0 ?!

The website issue should NOT affect the release of 1.0 :)

I am NOT going to discuss nor reply anything from the above until we finish
1.0. This is way too early to spend time on. Note that I didn't say "waste
time", I said "spend time".

We should "invest" our time into one and only target: releasing 1.0 :)

I am sure I have made this clear so many times already.

P.S.
For the website issue, that's on different thread.
