exactly! And its not only the two of us.
On many, agreed, but its not all and leaves many (there we have it again) in the dark
I guess you dont want to fill this thread now with cross references of the old on and then tell us in 20 days this thread is to messy 
So I would suggest to open the old thread and give the community feedback on each post AND THEN, close it once and for all.
As its not only for the original poster, its for all been watching and participating and gives others maybe the drive to participate to, if they feel something is taking action on.
Leaving the community in the dark is what has been discussed already in other threads when it comes to development and actions and seems that more and more people feel like this. (Roadmap with just the topic without any details are the same)
