I might have to give you that one Icey! The Instand Send fix was reported to be completed. It was news to me too that it now isn't. (Although qwizzie did say the news about instant send could be misinterpreted from his side in the post you quoted).

If you know anything about Dash you would know it is aiming for on chain scaling not off-chain. Bitcoin cash stripped out the segwit code for good reason. Dash (and Bitcoin Cash for that matter) aim to be used as a true digital cash not as a settlement layer for offchain transactions via Lightning Network.
