I don't understand.  I wasn't asking for any delay, per se.
You said "back in a week or two", and "cut the branch mid september".
That's ~2 weeks away (that's, in part, why I picked two weeks).

I'd just like to see the community get a definitive date to set
expectations and help folks schedule their time (for those that it
would help).
