Ooof, I understand everyone's frustrations/disappointments with the latest announcement of the additional delay on release, but I want to reinforce that Zlitz and the EC are taking everyone's best interests into mind with their decision. I know that the frustration with downtime is a recurring sentiment, but I'd to reiterate that the previous loader, although buggy and detected, was still usable for more than a month before the release of the new loader. I'm not sure what approach will be taken now that nothing is available for use.
Another point I'd to reinforce is that everyone needs to remember that this is the problem with announced ETAs. These are "estimated" times, so there isn't a guarantee. Additionally, I believe this is why they tried to avoid announcement early on in January, because of the imposed stress it places on the platform to make a release that might be before it is completely ready.
It's not my position to give you more information on status, but I will say that the loader is functional and working as intended. I know that I can't speak from a paying subscriber's perspective, but I can assure you from the time that I've worked with Zlitz and the years I've spent as a customer on his previous platforms, the team will deliver.
