But luckily there is no reason whatsoever to succumb to those demands. 
After all, DragonFly is not a commercial organisation where you can buy 
a support contract. Also, if DragonFly should 'go into 
businesses/corporations', I think it should solely (or largely) based on 
its technical merit, not adherence to a fixed schedule of branching the 
development tree and labeling it a release.

His comment didn't strike me as childish, as you could've inferred it 
will take longer than originally planned from various bug reports and 
other postings on the mailing lists. I think you just have to readjust 
your expectations of DragonFly, and perhaps it's better for you to go 
with a Linux with a support contract from one of the big vendors?
