Actually, Gary has now updated the first post and he is saying that it is in fact, Google who changed the qualification requirements, hence the delay.
This is getting to the point of ridiculousness.
On the plus side, we can hope that the reason Google is changing the standard is because the ludicrous situation whereby updates are being pushed with major, fundamental flaws that aren't fixed multiple months later have finally come to their attention.
I would guess that Google are the only ones with the clout to kick nVidia in line and get them to put out some decent code. Certainly, Asus don't seem able to do so by themselves, and it seems from folks in the know here that nVidia's code is likely the root cause of the worst of our problems.
So, if Google *are* actually aware, maybe they'll put the required pressure on nVidia to start doing their job. I'd imagine a thread of "or we'll start guiding our customers towards competing chipsets and reference designs" would suffice.
