After posting my comment, Cedric Champeau has since posted an announcement [1] to the users mailing list, giving the reason for the delay: "official Groovy support wasn't decided until GR8Conf, where I wanted to show a prototype". So it seems nowadays only Groovy developers who pay to attend their conferences are polled when making decisions. Those who "only" follow the mailing lists are ignored.

I agree that the mailing list should have been used the same day, but are you seriously unhappy that something is announced on the mailing list with a delay of 4 days, where all of these days had been travel, conference or holiday for any of the core members?
