What you said in [*1*] the discussion on [09/10] sounded like you are preparing an update of the series, so the topic is marked as "Expecting a reroll" in the recent "What's cooking" report. At least one topic now depends on the enhancement this topic makes, so I'd like to know what the current status and ETA of the reroll would be, in order to sort-of act as a traffic cop.

Your answer could even be "I have been too busy, and I do not think an update will come for some time"---in other words, I do not mean to tell you to drop other things and work on this instead.

If you are too busy, I can even see if other stakeholders (e.g. Stefan, whose topic now depends on this series) can take it over and update it after re-reading the discussion on the latest round.

Thanks.
