Sorry for the delayed reply!

Yes, there always seem to be lots of little bits that can easily slip through the net (in my most recent dev., it was translations that I missed!) Progress feels far slower than I would have hoped as a result but hopefully this is preventing too many scary surprises once it's adopted by the masses!

Perhaps this has been answered elsewhere, but was it part of your work that the "value" of post rewards is no longer inflated by TRX we were no longer getting, anyway?

I guess that we need Steemit Inc to officially confirm that TRX is gone for ever. I think that we all suspected that it would never return upon the initial announcement! I'll speak to steemchiller and try to get the witness view on things - it feels a little frustrating spending my time removing something that doesn't feel like it's been there for long!
