If they HAVE done so, please link it. I sincerely have simply not seen any yet.

Ah! Then I will rehash my stance, having been presented with the specific information I asked for. They ARE giving people some decent bits of warning. I still think "Sufficient progress" is a bit vague here, perhaps on purpose, but well played, Melkire.
Yeah they are giving some warning. Probably could be done a bit better going by the amount of people who didn't notice it XD. I think I figured it out after the last live letter when I actually went looking for the information directly. Up until then I thought 30 was the only requirement.
