There's no fixed timeline. Basically when we launched v2.1 with the
bib and auto extensions, our main focus was on getting the underlying
site infrastructure in a functional state, so we throw together some
"this might yet change" wording as a warning that the actual content
of the extensions might yet change. Since all of schema.org tends to
evolve slowly and continue changing, this should not be too shocking.

It would be really helpful if you can share any feedback on how well
the current comic-related schemas and vocab match your dataset and
application...
