Thanks for the reply!

This thread from the media chat + comment from Ozz is what I was going with at the time “Yea, looks like WebP will be in 6.1 in any case (unless some -huge- problems/regressions surface now, but don’t think that will happen)”https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02SX62S6/p1661377197521529?thread_ts=1661350515.706809&cid=C02SX62S6

I decided to say something because I’m a bit afraid that folks will disengage from the development and testing of the feature if they think it is “on hold.”

I also don’t want folks to assume it’s not shipping, then be surprised/upset that it does.

Development and discussion/consensus building is actively happening, and I hope that folks will continue to both test and provide feedback.

I’m really glad to see that there has been so much discussion about this particular feature. The approach has changed and improved so much since the original proposal!
