Könnte Taktik sein. Einerseits nix versprechen solange Partner o Naturkatastrophen noch einen Strich durch die Rechnung machen können, zum anderen mehr Impact wenn die Katze aus dem Sack kommt.
Schon bei devkit release hieß es, dass das design pretty much done ist, was ja auch plausibel ist. Überwiegend ähnliche Komponenten und verdrahtung.
Anderer Aspekt könnte Konkurrenz sein. Viele verstehen weder warum Pine günstiger ist, noch dass es v.d. Entwicklung Purisms profitiert.

Found a super-handy command today. fselect is a program that imitates SQL SELECT syntax for filesystem searches. Examples:

fselect path FROM / WHERE is_shebang = TRUE # Writes a list of all interpreter scripts to stdout. Also a lot of permission denied errors to stderr.
fselect path, size FROM ~ WHERE name LIKE '.%' AND is_file = TRUE ORDER BY size DESC # Writes a list of hidden files in your home directory somewhere from biggest to smallest.

“Onscreen.”
“Uh… we can't, they're using a proprietary codec and the licence isn't compatible with Federation law.”
“Can we install it anyway? Under one of the diplomacy directives.”
“Nnnooo, looks like we'd need to upgrade the ship's processing core. Or maybe downgrade. Possibly both.”
“Ah screw it, just open fire.”

For example, because it is FSF endorsed (Debian is not): gnu.org/distros/free-distros.h
And of course they can make privacy, security and convenience enhancments easier and ship improvements quicker than waiting for upstream.
Finally, the upcoming PureOS Store and the convergence goal for Librem 5 are very good reasons to have an own distro.

Mit einem derart sensiblen Gewissen wird man vielleicht noch Bürgermeister, aber bis an die EU Spitze schafft man es sicher nicht. Und da ist das Problem...

@ZacharyHerold @dukethereal @purism
it was also said that Matrix could be split in two apps: in chatty for 1:1 and a separate one for group chats.
I don't know if that's still the intention. If you want to get a good overview, have a look at the full development timeline, specifically all topics that are marked with a speech bubble (chat)

Die UBports Entwickler sollen ihre devkits inzwischen erhalten haben. Plasma mobile ist meines Wissens in den Purism Images enthalten. (Siehe source.puri.sm)
Eine Verschiebung über Q3 erscheint mir unplausibel, weil es heißt "price goes up with general availability" & "sale ends July 31st".
Vor allem aber startet man nicht einen hype mit 30+ täglichen Videos, um dann das Release zu verschieben. Das wäre schon blöd, so das Pulver zu verschießen.

I have a release to publish, I will do it soon but I will have a break after. For the first time with the project, I lost my motivation. My goal, whatever some people can think, was to build a tool for everyone with a high level of privacy.
I spent a lot of time to build it since more than two years. During these two years, you sent me your ideas and that's how the application grew. I have always replied to everyone, and I was personally proud to bring your suggestions inside the application 1/3
