No, not at all. AFAIK, all of us are not paid programmers (I mean, for 
GRUB itself) but volunteers, so GRUB 2 is purely for having a fun. No 
timeline, no pressure, no obligation.

Actually, some other projects have timelines even if they are hobby 
projects... The different between GRUB and such projects is that those 
who are interested in GRUB is very technical. We have little interest 
in getting a big share in the market, for example.

Naturally, this will change, if someone hires someone for developing 
GRUB.
