Well the Glimmer 2.0 effort started around the same time Ember 2.0 shipped (Aug 2015). That was 16 months ago, Glimmer 2.0 shipped about 2 months ago, ergo 14 months. I agree that it wasn't under development the entire time, but it was a blocker for many other features the entire time.

Basically when 2.0 landed, routable components couldn't be worked on until glimmer components were completed. Angle brackets, Improved Pods, etc, same.

So even if it wasn't under dev that whole time, it held back other features that would have really improved Ember.
