- "Are we there yet?"
- "When is Hardy out?"
- "How many hours until it's out?"
- "What's the _exact_ time of the release?"
- "Has anything changed between the RC and release?"
- "Where is the best place to find out exactly when it's released!?"
- "Give me the link!"
- "Canonical is in the Isle of Man, what timezone are they on!?"
- "Is the release time in GMT, UTC or BST!?"
- "The countdown thing says it's out, but I can't find it!"
- "(url) of mirror - they have it!"
- "Will KDE4 be in the release?"
- "But in my timezone, it will be Friday 25th!"
- "Why isn't Mark Shuttleworth here?"
- "Is the version on the mirror, the real version?"
- "Can I upgrade to Intrepid Ibex now?"
- "C'mon guys, I've been waiting here all day to start the download!"
- "How long until Zany Zebra?"
- "Ubuntu sucks!"
Did I miss any?

"Can someone help me upgrade

"Why wasn't bug $X fixed?"
"Why doesn't it have $version of $package? It was released weeks ago!"
"Where do I get the .exe?"
"Hey, come join ##channel too!"
I don't do new software
"Hardy is too new, nobody has had chance to test it yet, I think you're all nuts! I'm going to wait 'til service pack 2 comes out"

My favourite was the guy who wouldn't go to the toilet until the release was out ;-)
Server issues
"Mirrors are down..."
"Are the servers down, at the moment?"

"Its out!! Goto
"Its out!! Goto www.foo.com/ubuntu to download it!"
That was particually annoying last time.

Missing the point...
"How much will it cost?"
What timezone?
