As I indicated elsewhere, the BIT Partner Beta Test that was held in Germany last month is (I believe) one of the last steps in the "ramp up" towards product release. I would expect something might happen any time now.
I also indicated that when SAP is busy working on something and about to release it, what you tend to hear is: <crickets>
So silence on SAPs part doesn't indicate anything one way or the other.
The one thing that might have affected the release though was the rather sudden departure of Vishal Sikka. That's seems to have triggered a reorg.
