Is there an expected timeline for os2 to replace os?

I’ve done a quick port of Odin to the OS I develop for my day job. It was refreshingly simple to get the compiler working; only a couple minor tweaks were needed. For a full and proper port, however, there are some things I’d need to modify in core/os, but as I understand it, os2 is expected to replace os at some point?

Are there any major blockers holding this up? Is there an estimated percentage done or a very rough time frame for completion that can be shared? I understand predictions of future work remaining are nearly impossible, I’m just looking for rough orders of magnitude.

Is there anything specific that could benefit from some extra help?

I have a local branch where I’ve been working on this, among other things. I can’t give an exact timeline, but it wasn’t too difficult to replace os with os2 and have all tests passing.

EDIT: As I mentioned over here, there’s one major blocker to this, which is where almost all of my time has gone. It’s hard to put a number on it, but I’ve been making good - if slow - progress.
