I did see this the first time around, but had nothing to say at the time.

However, since you ask, I prefer a writeup rather than a 40 minute video
for this kind of update, but based on the numbers above, they are making
good progress but are not there yet.

Based on the above, I would guess/hope early next year for them to be ready,
which would put them a year behind schedule. It would be interesting to
know the reasons for the failures however and what is different about the
x86-64 environment that resulted in test differences that ended up being
classified as failures.

In total, there's about 10% of the tests which have not been done or have
failed, but as we all know the first 90% of a project takes 90% of the
time and the last 10% takes the other 90% of the time. :-)

Simon.
