I agree, the group has been closed going on 2 weeks, just because ppl were asking for ETAs. A bit excessive. I know devs HATE etas - and trust me I feel for that - but it comes with the territory if we're being honest. If you think you can stop the annoying wenETA folks you're the millionth to try and will be the millionth to fail.
Not to mention dev said he'd release A12 build on Christmas - over a month before Christmas. Then just kinda ghosted everyone when the 25th came around. Why do that to yourself and put a release date on it at all? I know the dev has a life and has no obligation to release anything for anyone, but when you start the hype for a release a whole month early - for the most popular ROM on the forum - and then completely ghost, are you surprised people were asking about the release? I'm not saying asking wenETA will EVER be okay....but if it were to ever be okay, it would be in that exact situation.
They give timelines due to people moaning about ETA's, to make them hopefully stop it.... life gets in the way...so if you need to know who's at fault for the origin of why the dev would assume it's fair to provide a date.... Then look at the people who are asking for ETA's in the first place..
Overall has there been such a difference between android 10 and 11? Does anyone think 12 is going to bring some kind of megalithic update that we absolutely have to have right now? No it won't, it'll be a shell change which will offer very little in regards to functionality, the odd tweak here and there but not much more, in fact battery will probably be worse, maybe performance and we may even lose features; in all honesty asking for an update doesn't merit the absolute crap it brings with it.
If people haven't worked that out by now then they're beyond helping.
Just to be clear, of course I'd like to have the latest and greatest, but someone else is doing this for me, they owe me nothing, I don't even know their first name, favorite colour, if they're dealing with turmoil in their life or if they have a really hard life in general, so until THEY decide to release anything, I'm more than happy with what I have right now.
If anyone is selfish enough to think they're owed more than exactly that then they're very much mistaken.
