Hi OP, yes, I am still in touch with my contact for this matter. If I leave a case and set myself a spectator instead of actively trying to get it resolved, I most likely will make a public announcement about it so someone can take over. To answer your PM.
They should have a verdict delivered to me by yesterday, but it seems they got halted by something else as my nudge was left unread. I'll re-nudge again when morning come.
