why is it implausible? they have almost another 8 months (summer ends in september), which gives them plenty of time. i'm not saying they're sure to release on time, but it's very possible considering that so far star vault is on schedule with everything, and barring any unforseen circumstances (which are somewhat likely), they will remain on schedule.
you have to remember, the game is further in development than most of us realize because the devs have intentionally kept many of the game's features from the public's eye. the reasoning for this is because they don't want to announce anything officially and then be forced to remove it before release (they've stated this on their website).
so assuming the devs are telling the truth, i don't see why they couldn't release on time except for the fact that "most MMOs don't release on time" (which has no bearing on whether or not MO will release on time).

I am guessing that the FAQ claim of summer '09 release is pretty much impossible by now?
I wouldn't say impossible but I would say implausible.

Release dates are for the bean counters to sell to the share holders, nothing more
