In terms of focus on iteration, I can't talk about strategy in the broad lines, because it's not my area of work and I wouldn't be the correct person to inform you about it. I can tell you how it impacted my position though. I worked on Planetary Interaction last release and when it came out, our sister team requested that they be allowed to continue working on it. The result is that (for the first time I believe) have a team releasing a feature and then spending a subsequent release polishing it. This is the way it should be; a team delivers a product and is free to make the improvements they want. The list of features you mention come from a time where we did not do this, and the difference in our approach then and now is massive. EVEgate is live and has a team working on it again, PI is live and has a team that's working on it etc. This is how we're developing EVE today and I feel it's a much more healthy approach than we previously took.
No, it's not. You are heaping massive new expansions onto a product that is riddled full of holes, there are so many contradictions in your reply it's laughable, you can't have it both ways.

The fact that we have a lot of old stuff we definitely need to look at doesn't mean we don't iterate, it just means we have to do one piece at a time. Waiting sucks, but we only have x number of hands for x tasks. Sure, we could leave PI and fix an old feature, but then we'd have people asking why we gave up on PI.
Kinda like how people are asking why you gave up on A, B, C, all the way down the line right now in this very thread and COUNTLESS others? Even in the post you are indeed replying to? Are you mentally handicapped? Yeah one piece at a time, as in hold the new ****, and fix your CURRENT product, as players have been asking for quite some time now. But, no your answer is oh yeah you are totally right we are doing that, when that is not what you are doing at all. 
Why do I even read these dev blogs anymore.
If you only have x amount of hands for x amount of work, and you don't finish the initial job, yet you continue too ADD additional work you will never get back to the original job. THIS IS THE PROBLEM. That's what you have been doing and continue to do to this day.
