Credibility itself differs by person.   I've been leary of a 6 month release 
cycle from the beginning.  Breezy confirmed that to me, with it's original 
bugginess and now this security issue. 

The 6 week delay indicates a growing maturity and GIVES credibility.  Given 
what has been accomplished and some of the growing pains experienced (and it 
seems, learned from) I have no doubt this will become a very polished distro.  
A six week delay is good for everyone.
