Imagine you're right, just don't want to go down that road again.

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.

It was... unpleasant, in a lot of ways, so even if it remains unlikely the POSSIBILITY was unsettling.

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.
