We're all in the same boat - we too have jobs, lives, commitments, etc.
It would have been nice to get a "we're thinking about this and we'll
give you an answer in 2 weeks" type of a reply instead of silence as
most of us don't really know what and when we'll hear back in regards
to this topic (communication is the cornerstone of any progress).

Can you guys give us a ballpark date then on when to expect this your
