   Well, nothing solid, really.  Part of it is how we are *WELL* past the    
   (possible but not confirmed) desire to get back on the 2-year schedule.     
   Also I've seen some chatter in a couple of IRC channels from people I    
   know to have some valid information.  The word is that we're waiting for    
   KDE/Plasma v6 and once that happens the release will soon follow.     
   Nothing for sure, of course, and honestly I have no idea about KDE    
   progress, as I don't use it and haven't looked into it lately.   
      
   I've actually moved away from Slack some, as I'm running MX Linux (with    
   no systemd) on my main daily driver laptop, and I have a Pi4 running    
   various tasks for me (on RaspiOS).  I still do have a file server    
   running Slackware 15.0, and my BBS runs on -current.  The reason that    
   one is on -current is that it has new enough hardware that X won't even    
   run on it with 15.0.  Other software is very stale too.   
      
   Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.  ;-)   
      
      
      
   ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.
