I see your point, but the reality is that this is a pattern of over-promising and under-delivering/misstating the timelines of events.
It creates a pattern of distrust. Sure, there could be a release in a couple days, but just as easily, there may not be. He states all these events to come as a condition on other participants executing in timely fashion.
Bottom line: He stated release before end of the month, and he DID NOT deliver.
