Thats wrong.
I agree with Ganneff here: what Marc wrote is wrong. It happened to me
*many* times that some of my packages were processed by the FTP team the
same day, sometimes the same hour.
But to be completely transparent: since 2014, I learned how to
completely ignore the FTP NEW queue, and get it away from my brain. And
you know what? Well, since that time, I *never* considered that the NEW
queue was an issue. Ever again.
The NEW queue waiting time is a stress we impose on ourselves. But in
reality, it's super rare that this is a real grave problem.
Don't get me wrong: it's nice that it is faster now. But it still is my
opinion that the issue of the waiting time was overstated for no valid
reasons. It wasn't such a big deal. It still isn't.
