Ok just pretend I'm a dev for a bit :
Hi, sorry to say but we didn't manage to get the patch done yet due to X,Y,Z (fill in at will). Again we are really sorry but it should be done this week hopefully. On the plus side this means we got that much closer to getting mystery feature Alpha implemented in the betapatch after this one.

Did that give you any vital info you can't do without for a few days? Did it improve your life or are you still just waiting like before?
