Well, perhaps the fact that what you've already downloaded has been free (to
you -- making it available has cost volunteers time and money) could quench some
of that disappointment.
The reason there hasn't been a parts update in a while is we are currently
working on making the way parts get approved and distributed better - so in the
future new parts will come more frequently, and not have to wait for a vote and
a group of parts to be assembled.
LDraw.org is a volunteer effort done by people with real lives outside of
maintaining the site. Steve, the Parts Guy (tm), has a full time job and a
family. I have school full time and other activities on top of that.
It disappoints me that I haven't had the time or energy to put into making the
site a better resource for the users. At the same time though, 'what gives?'
posts make me less and less interested in the project.
The next big thing, besides getting some other people started on editing pages,
is a series of discussion panels and tutorials at BrickFest 2001
(www.brickfest.com).

This has come up enough times, after a long enough time, that perhaps some mention of this should go onto the ldraw.org front page (just after the "Contribute" blurb), or on the parts update page, or both.
