I can confirm I've seen the new axoloti prototype (not the akso, the one @AndrewChi is talking about) in real life a couple of months ago and spoke with Johannes about the future of it all...including the flaws in akso (numerous once you start working with the platform...) and how to avoid those in axoloti v2 ...
Given the supply chain situation, it is unwise to make any promise on delivery dates. That being said... an update, a teaser, a public announcement of any kind would be nice...I agree
