It is easy enough to shout from the sidelines I suppose. Having said that, I have a couple of questions.
How big of an operation is SKG? That is, how many people (FTEs if you like)?
Have they done this before?
Having never published anything myself, I don't know what's involved, but I would assume that when most of your content is already effectively written, a legit publisher would have sufficient project management capability to be able to provide a realistic delivery timeframe for its goods. However if SKG is basically two guys new to the business doing this out of love (which I think is totally cool if true, don't get me wrong), then the puzzling lack of reliable information about the status of this long awaited book makes a lot more sense.
Just my 2 cents worth...

You don't know who makes up SKG?
Originally it was Ian Sturrock, Jon Hodgson, Gareth Hanrahan. You should recognise those three names as fairly hefty names in the rpg industry.
Jon H. left last year when he became Art Director at Cubicle 7. Gareth is fairly hands off of SKG as far as I know cos he's pretty busy developing multiple lines at C7.
Ian works full time in yeaching and academics and is fairly heavily involved in the UK LARP scene so SKG is done in what little spare time he can squeeze between family commitments.
Last year Kieren Turley came on board and has been working hard but he also has a regular fulltime job and other commitments.
Thats about all I know from the outside looking in...hhopefully I got the general facts right.
