These types of threads do not spark development. This is akin to asking "When are we going to get some ROMs?"
If you noticed there are many very good flagship phones being released near the same time from many manufacturers. Developers are splitting up and moving to different devices. Previous Galaxy line developers are tired of the same old same old..as well as working around Knox all the time. This cycle eventually produces new developers that want to give 100's of hours of their free and family time, as well as a good part of their life to give members here free work. Unfortunately most of these developers are discouraged by people who know nothing about development or appreciation and criticize new developers.
