Didier Spaier titled this thread: "Are we there, yet?"
Yes, we are.
We don't have to wait for the reliable, well designed, distribution of GNU/Linux known as Slackware. We have it already in version 14.1.
If you need/want newer drivers, more recent bug fixes, and some new features, we have that too in -current.
With 14.1, -current, Slackbuilds.org, and the flexibility to add/change almost everything you need or want that's available in the Linux world, we have it all.
So YES! we are there. No waiting is necessary. Use Slackware today!
I wonder about the KDE still being in version 4.10.5.
And about this statement on mate-desktop.org:
Code:
MATE is available via unofficial repositories for the following Linux distributions, but inclusion in their official repositories is planned:
Slackware

This statement was made by MATE developers, assuming that we (MSB project) will push the code to the core Slackware packages.
In fact, we have no plan (for now at least) to push this to Pat (unless he wanted to have MATE included in the next Slackware release).
I might have to ask them to reword that sentence to make it less ambiguous
I'm doubtful. No new KDE, no new Xfce. My guess is this will take some time.
Not only those - there won't be much point in a new release until the question of the init system is decided. There's been nothing in -current to suggest that that will be anytime soon.
