Sanderson seems to be very good with his release dates, unlike some authors, the only time he added onto the date was a few months for the re-read. I think I'd put my money on it coming out around march 2012.
I hadn't realized just HOW long the delay between KoD and TGS was until Deadsy reminded me. That wasn't good for the fanbase; if TGS had been announced a few months (let alone YEARS) earlier wotmania might still exist (I honestly doubt it, but who's to say what an influx of newbs in early '07 might've accomplished?) So I don't want him to exhaust himself, naturally, or pump out a rushed and shoddy finale, but I also wouldn't enjoy an ever receding release date that returns us to the all too familiar limbo from which we've recently emerged.
Sanderson posted a blog today with all of his books, what's he's doing and their estimated time tables. It look like A memory of light will be pushed back to March 2012 so he can do another re-read of the series, he said he has started to forget things and doesn't want that to affect his writing of the last book. Personally I'm happy with this as I think he's doing and excellent job based of TGS and I would rather him take his time (well, within a limit) and put of an amazing last book then burn himself out and put out a crappy book really fast.

I'm more than happy he's taking his time. He deserves a break.

I hadn't thought about that, but I'm glad as well. They should end it with AMoL, IMO.
