Don't listen to the Qtroll (I suggest blocking it). ATI releases monthly driver updates (much more frequently than that other big company). Seeing as how their Linux code is based off of the Windows code, of course they don't release them separately. It's not like there are a bunch of changes between each driver. Often, I look at the release notes (windows and Linux) and wonder why they really bothered...

The drivers are actually finished 2 months earlier than they are released. The rest of the time is for testing and packaging contributions.

AMD's blob isn't late - they never give a time precisely so that they're not committed to a date for release, just in case some last minute problem pops up. I also wouldn't be surprised if they delay releases so they can coincide (likely delaying the linux release to coincide with the windows one).
In response to Godwin's Law taking effect - has anyone here actually been to any of the Holocaust memorial sites? Just curious.

The comments here are less than tactful.
And that's all I'll say here about that - it's offtopic now.
More on-topic: just reinstalled gentoo so 11.1 should be the first driver install where I don't have to manually install the package (long story, I really buggered things up a while back!).
