I've heard the same...it is not because it will take them that long to put
the features in (they are already there),  it is because that is when the
next version is scheduled to be released (and they don't want to release a
minor version in the meantime).   I'm not saying I like/agree with this
policy,  but I am not flustered -- I know the way IBM works.

The new version will have a lot more in it than the recently released
Windows version (and then those users will probably have to wait 6 months
to be caught up --- unless IBM gets smart and starts shipping the compiler
as a multiplatform product,  like Watcom does).
