Okay, this works. Then I guess I will reply this way.

Russell, since you didn't answer my email yet (you invited me to ask questions,
which I did): could you please let me know - either here in by email - whatever
is currently known about the timeline of the changes? Like, how many phases,
which order, how long will they each take, are there pauses between the phases..

We are currently still closed because of all this. I am not going to raise any
more complaints in response, I will accept that Bricklink might not know everything
yet. I just need to know the facts so I know if/how/when we can reopen.

My opinion is clear I think, the last thing I will say on that is these 3 recommendations
for such updates in the future:

1. TIMELY: Inform us all 30 days before a change. This was not an urgent situation.
2. CLEAR: Complete info available of what exactly will change into what. Descriptions
that have been proofread to avoid confusion. (This saves you guys time too, as
the number of replies that are based on misunderstanding for you to work through
will be much much smaller)
3. CLEAN: Make the changes go live on the announced date in a single, clean update

This would greatly help not just me but probably everyone, every service and
every website in the Lego fan ecosystem that is in some way involved with part
numbers.

With that out of the way, looking forward to getting whatever info is currently
available, thanks!
