It's one thing for SE to say they are going to do something, and them actually doing it. Cait Sith is a great example of this. So I would not be surprised if a lot of people not wanting to work on making an RME right now have taken a stance similar to me. Which is the RME update is not to be counted on until it shows up in an actual patch announcement like what is found here.

Coupled with the fact they have hinted at there is going to be higher content levels released, and they do not want to do multiple updates to RME, makes it hard to justify investing heavily in one until have a better idea of where they are going to end up.
