Yes, I thought this was from around the time we were discussing how 2.1 & sliver would work. I was checking back as I couldn't remember, and 2 years was in your mind as well:
"Katie: You can't change it every 6 months, but you can do it
every 2 years -- especially if you tell them that it will be
updated every 2 years.
... then we have to organize the process so it can be
expeditiously updated every 2 years."

The feedback from Gov sources so far hasn't been too difficult, I'm not saying that is settled, but it doesn't seem to be to enough to delay the charter for what happens *after* this charter.

As I recall that wasn't the case, the question was whether there was a 2.2 or Silver would be in time to pick up the remainder there.
I think Andrew answered more completely whilst I was writing this, so I'll stop there. Overall though, I'm not seeing a recent change, except perhaps the SCs from the task forces are crystallising more clearly.
