Most likely it's that they're trying to do the patch in 10.9.2, and have a lot of non-bug-fix related 10.9.2 stuff to work out (they've done 7 prerelease builds to developers of 10.9.2 already).

The manager who is holding the SSL fix hostage to 10.9.2's shitty feature-adds should be terminated out of a cannon. It's hilarious that we don't know who that person is -- who is the head of software security at Apple? From what I've heard there are at least two separate teams, and the relevant team is closely tied to Federighi, but no one outside Apple (generally) knows sub-SVP people at Apple.

There should be 10.9.1.1 with just the SSL fix. If that means delaying 10.9.2 another month, so be it.
