This isn't a "puthorse" command, our movement/damage/gui/almost everything is scripted rather than built-in and so it takes some time to make these types of things with the benefit of being able to make such improvements as we have.
This hasn't exactly taken 3 weeks either, it's been worked on for about 5 days with the core stuff taking only a few hours, overall I'd say this is reasonably quick and not just in comparison to the pre-wipe, also consider how many months it took for horses to be released on iPhone.

Our goal has never specifically been about bettering the last version of the server, that just goes hand in hand.

If this and the last 3 phases of Questing content are a minor update then what constitutes being a major update and what other Under Construction (or PlayerWorlds Tab for that matter) server(s) are these major updates being implemented publicly?
To answer your question though it's unrealistic to expect that Classic is going to go from Under Construction to ready over night or in one swoop, it has to be a transition of many different things required in order to be prepared to maintain a playercount long term once live.
