Ok. Wow.
Mr. PolitenessMan asked me to wish everyone a great start to a new weekend without hard feelings or escalations.

Who cares that what the devs at XDA are for. They will have Ice Cream Sandwich on a captivate as soon as the source code is released, or whatever is next (Jell-o, Key-lime pie, lollipop, mousse... etc.)
No phone is perfect. No service is perfect. People will always be unhappy.
A twitter post is no proof imo
So...a statement made from the company itself isn't proof to you? Twitter is one of Samsung's main ways of communicating with its customers, yet you don't find it proof even though it came from the source? This is fact. Believe it.

your answer sounds like you don't mind the consequences of rooting. Personally I feel like rooting/flashing should be equal to operating system use. Would my motherboard company fault me for using Ubuntu instead of Windows? I understand that very technically "flashing a rom" is different than "installing a new operating system" but realistically they're the same no? My mind is blown that my cellphone company has more control over what I do with how I access their services than any other company with a similar business plan. It's odd!

I have never thought of Samsung releasing the source code. That is a really good idea. The devs would probably make a better Froyo than they would
I would be happy if they did that but lets face it...that isn't going to happen.
The open source parts are in the AOSP - the manufacturer-specific launcher, drivers and kernel need not necessarily be.
For Android, the Apache license is in force, not the GPL, fwiw.

I've done the same. I've only been holding off on flashing roms because I was waiting for an "official" captivate froyo release. Although its not really official for the US, official for Canada is enough, since the international galaxy s froyo versions never seemed to be a perfect match for the captivate.I gave in and decided to just root. Now running Cognition 3.02 and I couldn't be happier. I will be looking to XDA for new Roms instead of Samsung for their update. By the time the stock 2.2 comes out, XDA will have something even better already available.
T-Mobile just announced today, they are going to be pushing out Froyo, starting tomorrow on their Galaxy S. You can expect the other carriers to follow suit, very soon.
