Open source is much more than throwing the code over the wall. Heck, in the early pilot days I was told by a number of Sun engineers, that the reason things are taking time is exactly that - we do not want to just throw the code over the wall - we want to build a community.
With respect, Sun is entitled to develop new features in whichever manner suits their ends. While the community may desire fresh, juicy source to dig through on a regular basis, it's not always going to land in your lap.
You can't always get what you want. In this case, however, you will get what you need - the finished product.
Finally, there is one rather simple way to pull development out into the open - write some relevant code and be part of the development process. If people delivered code as quickly as they deliver words, the development process would be wide out in the open.
