As a professional courtesy, can we avoid jumping on the "there must be optimization methods" speculation bandwagon? We've been done that path before. I get that it's a typical bottleneck, but that should be something considered by earlier teams and, without knowing the exact specifics, speculation isn't helpful. What I will say is that the last update happened on a Saturday, and that tells me that it was likely a "this is a task I can do when people won't interrupt me" sort of thing.
I'm understanding of the fact that summer con season is busy. At the same time, an update before GenCon is pretty critical and it feels like that's being punted to the last possible moment. We're at 2.5 months since the last AR and I cannot fathom the possibility that it rests solely on the web development team. That seems incredibly unlikely.
