I dont really know what to say. After 14 years or so in development hell, a month or two dont seem much. At the same time, I think the negative backlash that may or may not come from this, is grounded in the face that after such a long time, DNF no has the right to be delayed.
In the end i think I'll be grateful that they are taking some more time to tweak and fix the game. It's the same with Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I'd rather have to wait a little longer, but then get a better game with less glitches and bugs, than have a game that seems like it was kicked out the door too early.
