This is what I heard.  Two weeks ago, the 0.9 golden master OD was ready,
but they had problems copying the disk so that all possible drives could
read it.  NeXT had decided to try to obtain a bunch of out-of-specification
drives to test their disk on, in hopes that if their disk was readable on
these drives, it would be readable on all drives.

Only time will tell :-)

The last I heard (yesterday), we at Berkeley should expect it "any day now".

Only time will tell :-)
