I asked because it was already after the holidays and I wanted to be sure that my question will not remain unanswered. Also, I didn't knew whether there are some developers working during the holidays (e.g. at home). There are passionate people working even during those days. P.S.: I'm still getting those "dating scam emails" which I mentioned on the forums, however, I failed to mention that they were initiated from "[email protected]" (see <https://u.pomf.is/ushqlo.png>). If you can, please ban this user from the mailing list so no more users will be bothered again. Thanks again.

There are people working even during Saturdays though likely not on 2nd of January. It didn't occur to me when I wrote my reply.
