This seems like a fairly common thing right now - I've got an update for my app that has been waiting to be reviewed for several weeks now, and lots of others have been reporting waiting times close to a month. Prior to this summer, wait times were usually around a week.

Hopefully it is just a temporary slowdown due to Mountain Lion causing a bunch of new app submissions, and not indicative of long-term staffing reductions.

Yeah well it's not conducive to making software in an agile way and if releases are going to take two months to be approved and then probably rejected, I'm looking at 1/4 year tacked onto already lengthy scopes. That's a fiscal quarter someone blew, or one tenth of someone's daughter's life. Not to mention I totally lost my "updated for Mountain Lion" and "updated for Retina" feature chances. It's not something want to accept as "common"! I'd like to have a daughter someday.
