Is Logos planning to have Editio Critica Maior any time soon?

The question is rather: when are they going to finish ECM? [|-)]
Peace, My Friends!
Having been born in the Year of Our Lord 1936, I wonder if I will still be in this present life in the Year of our Lord 2030? (I write these words on 2014-02-12 -- Anno Domini!)
I guess it's a possibility, eh?! *smile*

The expected completion was pushed back several times, but I hope you live to see it (in this present life, I mean) [H]
It would be nice for Logos to publish parts as they come out. For example, to start with the Catholic Epistles, since completion of that part of the NT was enough to bring about the publication of NA28.
Yes, that would be especially helpful.
With the online availability of the Coherence-Based Genealogical Method website at http://intf.uni-muenster.de/cbgm/index_en.html the need for the Editio Critica Maior on the Catholic Epistles (ECM IV) is quite apparent. Usage of that site requires ECM variant addresses. (The CBGM was used to develop NA28's apparatus, resulting in 34 changes in the Catholic Epistles from NA27 - cf. Peter J. Gurry's "How Your Greek NT is Changing" in JETS 59:4).
For example, when running the site's Coherence in Attestations Version 2.0 Data Entry Form, you need to use those variant addresses. In a recent email, Klaus Wachtel <wachtel@uni-muenster.de> advised me that the ECM variant addresses for James 5:3 are Jas 5:3/6-14 variants a-f, and for 3 John 4 they would be 3Jn 1:4/2-10 variants a-p.
This information simply cannot easily be gleaned from NA28, although such is actually possible by the word and space counting method outlined by Don Wilkins in his review of ECM IV on Amazon.
