Because there is no way to give a firm date. There is "soon", and there is "now". Any programmer who tells you anything else (except for "never" or "later"

), is simply lying to you.
ie- there is no way to know how long testing will require, until it is complete. It's just a waste of time to give progress reports, since if it's not out, it's a fair assumption there is something potentially wrong with it - anything beyond that is of no use to us.
