We don't know how complete these added scenes are. There are indications that they were cut very late in the process, and therefore may be practically finished. For example, the soundtrack appears to suggest that Shore has already scored the music for Bilbo exploring Rivendell and talking with Elrond, and possibly also Gandalf at the High Fells (if this hasn't been pushed to The Desolation of Smaug).

Again, just to be clear, I'm not suggesting the EE is ready to go "right now", but spacing the two apart, with the EE scheduled for the Fall, is clearly a marketing strategy, and there is nothing wrong with that, at all. I don't know why people are defensive about it, like the idea is some sort of attack on Jackson.
