Yeah, riders along Eglinton have dealt with the grief for over a decade, a few extra months isn't going to hurt them. There is especially not any compelling reason to put the eastern portion of the line into service in advance, since it's more lightly travelled than the central portion of the line anyway.
Frankly I think the decision to wait for Eglinton station to be finished is the right one. Opening a new line without its key transfer station would be like putting a brand new subway train into service without seats or lights, because, hey, as long as it runs. It would be a public relations nightmare and Metrolinx is fully correct in wanting to avoid it.
