It’s hard checking the site each day for an update…
just get the rss-feed into your feedreader. that makes the act of checking easier (but not the wait :-( )

I recall the last ‘official’ time-frame was fall of 2008? It would (will) be appropriate to hear an update before/on Dec. 21 - not necessarily before, even if the update then proves to be “delivery at an undetermined date’. No announcement with a time frame would be alarming, though, for those old enough to recall the infamous commerce module.
The EE team might now use the galactic number ‘42’ (the wise will understand) and incorporate it into some sort of (random) completion formula - it might actually help (he said, remembering an IBM dude who really did use that number in every project estimate during the 1980s with some intriguing ‘research’ results). Then again, perhaps they have long been using 42 ...
Thankfully, since EE was ten years ahead of the competition as of Sept 21, 2008, taking things all-in-all, I reckon it is now nine years and nine months ahead, or maybe nine years and seven or eight months. Or ... so no rush.

just to add this thought:
i myself will definitely NOT use ee 2.0 immediately after the release. i will wait, let’s say, 2, 3, 4 months, until i relaunch my site with 2.0, ‘cause in the 1st phase there probably will be some bugs or other difficulties.
that means for me: i will have to wait anyway - if it’s released tomorrow or in 3 months. this keeps the tears away from my eyes.

http://ellislab.com/blog/entry/first_impressions/ is exactly what I was talking about. And I, and many other definitely appreciate that first sentence “For December we are planning on two ExpressionEngine 2.0 updates. The first is this very post. The second will be around Dec. 19, give or take a couple days.”
Looking forward tot he 19th!

Since v1.x is a living, breathing version with new updates coming out, it seems to me much better to ignore v2 as much as possible unless involved in its development.
After the ecommerce almost-release some three years ago I learned to obey EllisLab’s injunction to plan against what actually exists, not what’s in the pipeline, and I’m a happier camper as a result.
