> That's not to say that the company has completely avoided criticism. After 18 months of threats, Apple told employees to return to the office three days a week back in February, and has since started tracking badge swipes and issuing warnings to employees who fail to do so.
> It’s been about two months since our last blog post was out. The team wants to give everyone an update on our progress and let you know that we are nearly at the finish line!
> WAAAAAY back in early September 2022, we sent out an email to the community to lay out the reasons for replacing Fedora Messaging Notifications (FMN). At the time of writing the last blog post, we had deployed our code to the staging environment and were in the process of bug hunting. Some of our feature sets had been finished, like users receiving message notifications via IRC, but most were still in a “in progress” state. We were quietly optimistic about delivering the finished project on time.
