Can you send me the links to those messages? Of course, tech members are not involved with distribution so that might be why it was missed.
Again, there are NO delays in Xbox releases. We want to make sure that releases are stable, and as we can do multiple releases a day on our system, we prefer to use that system. But the moment the code is stable, it is released to our users and Microsoft on the same day. After that, we have no influence on the actual release. The marketplace used to have delays up to 10 weeks; these days, it is often just a few days.
