Hmm, I didn't see anyone answer this one and I was cleaning out my inbox... so I thought I'd comment.

1) Kir has been tied up lately with some family health issues but should be back to work in near future.

2) Robert has been working on an update to vpkg2 and pkg-cacher.  I've been working with him mostly providing feedback.  Last I heard he was looking at one or more of the metadata packages that I wasn't too happy with.  Robert is very close to announcing/releasing the 1.0 release... but I don't want to still his thunder.

The answer on this is that no one knows yet.  I don't think it is going to happy real soon... but in a month or two maybe... hopefully.  I myself would really like to see vzpkg2 and pkg-cacher replace the existing vzpkg... and the sooner the better.

TYL,
