I am now done as of Dec 3rd.
I took my oath along with 100 other applicants in The Art Gallery.
I also saw this: Before they asked us to stand for the oath, an applicant had a very fussy child and had to leave temporarily to quiet the child down. She was still not at her seat when the oath was taken (she may have taken it in the back of the venue), but, unlike the stories here in this forum before the change of government (like not receiving the certificate because of a bathroom break, etc), she was allowed to receive her certificate(and her child's too).
So, maybe there is a light going forward, and no more fear in the process.
That is good for so many going forward.
Thanks to all
