They made it!. They made it! – it is better late than never. I’m so happy now! Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex is here to make us happy.
Next time you should set the expectation acordingly -you can have the release one day after, and align communications plan to avoid misunderstaning -could be Launch at 12M EST or something like that. It will be good to put the MAINTENANCE MODE on the site 
And suddenly launch the new version -i will prefer that than see things changing during the whole day -it becomes like my girlfriend, she takes hours to get ready to exit.
