You pretty much summed up my viewpoint. No I haven't heard any more, but Rasmus has been a bit busy having his hand crushed and practicing baby noises, so he's probably in no shape to respond just yet! All I can find repeatedly says 'any day now', but there's no hard data beyond what can be seen (your (IMHO valid) comment notwithstanding) at the O'Reilly site. Am not keen to put in an advanced order, sight-unseen; and the man is usually right here, so ...
