PLEASE provide access to the new IDE plugin! (Or at least give us a real availability date)

Can someone please provide access to the new Eclipse 3.5 compatible plugin? At the very least provide a legitimate time/date when it will be available? ("After roll-out is complete" is not a commonly accepted release-schedule date)

 

If access cannot be provided, it would be helpful to know WHY the new IDE plugin has been withheld for the last several weeks despite the widespread availability of Spring '10 release features (at least in dev orgs).  My company has been actively bringing new clients onto the Force.com platform and working interactively with them on new developments, but it negatively impacts credibility not being able to provide simple why & when information for major release milestones.

At salesforce.com, ensuring customer success through trusted and reliable products are our top priorities.  As part of our commitment to deliver on these priorities, we’ve made the decision to postpone the release of the Force.com IDE.
 
We expected to release a new Force.com IDE shortly after all salesforce.com instances upgraded to Spring ’10.  Due to extensive changes required in our test infrastructure to support Eclipse 3.5, the development effort has taken longer than expected.  The new release date for the Force.com IDE for Spring ’10 will be April 19th, 2010.
 
We recognize that many of you have been waiting for an updated IDE since Winter ’10, and we appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause to you and your organization.
 
Best regards,

It's coming but it does require Spring 10 / API 18.  Sorry for the inconvenience.
