I think there was reasonable support from the membership to delay all 
transitions until Verisign had completed their transition in order to 
avoid policy inconsistencies with the smaller registries EPP 
implementations as much as possible. I'm not sure I see any reasons why 
the smaller registries should rush when in fact it was them that 
hastened the implementation of EPP quite significantly. In fact, I would 
even go so far as to characterize this "delay" as being a reward of 
sorts and give them a chance to focus on other things instead of 
undertaking the formality of upgrading to EPP 1.0.
All in all, I am in favor of a delay for the current crop of EPP capable 
registries - just much longer than what they are currently asking for.
