It was ever a thing that 2 months from release they might have scrapped it?

"Of all the nutty things Canonical has done in the last week wanting to drop 13.04 four months into development and two months before release is one of the more anti-social to the community who have been working on it."

What is Canonical up to? Same goes for display servers. They made a whole bunch of noise last year about Wayland, how they were almost ready to switch to it for 13.04 and then they go silent and now pop up with a new in house display server they are working on and want to push that as early as next year. After the in house disaster that was unity (like it or hate it, it was released waaaay to early with a lot of bugs and regressions) now they want to do a display server. In what way have they shown they have the trustworthiness and engineering chops to pull this off?
