Latest update from the Vert dev (in reddit):-
So, what takes so long?
Good morning Vertans,
Many people have posted that changes are coming two slow. Why? Two reasons:
1.) As I have said before, the changes are significant, non-trivial and need to be thoroughly tested.
2.) There are many changes in the hopper that would all require a hardfork if we move forward with them. Rather than hardfork many times we would prefer to make all those changes in a single release. Now, there may not be a way around needing a couple widely spaced hard forks, but for now we are trying to consolidate.
The changes we (community and devs) are debating include block maturity, subsidy changes, algorithm changes and a potential change to a new block difficulty algorithm I designed called Furnace.
Talk is cheap - I hear you. The flip side is a shitty, costly release because we rushed.
Keep your eyes peeled for more votes and discussion.
Cheers!

That all sounds very good and interesting, but what about timing?
Look, the way I see it, as long as the devs are working at it, and they stand to gain too from a price rise, then its worth the wait.
Use this opportunity to buy more.
Why? Simple.
Very few coins actually have devs that know what they are doing. These guys know what they are doing, they just need to figure out the best direction, then work can start.
