Not sure I am seeing what you guys are seeing? I see updates from Matt on progress of next release in this same thread on Jan 24, Feb 8, Feb 23, Mar 1, Mar 9 which I consider "recently". In one update he says the incorporation of new Axe FX III release slowed them a little, in another he says he will post when there is news (which I assume means not every time one of thousands on the forum decide to ask, seems reasonable to me).
I don't remember in the 15 years that I played my Axsys 212, Pod, Pod X3, Vetta II, that Line6 ever kept me apprised of their schedule of updates (of which there may have been 2 updates in that period), and before that Fender never even conversed with me. So I am more than appreciative of FAS and the way they relate to us customers.
