Bert, 

Nothing has happened from an Infra perspective.  We are inundated with other 
work, and while this is a nice ideal it is not critical and therefore it is not 
prioritised, yet. 
I appreciate you want to see it done, and it will be, but sadly it is taking a 
back seat right now.

Cheers,
Tony
