I had a ghost update on Dec 13 and haven’t received any updates after:( not even sure what that ghost update was about. It seems that everything is quiet and slow around holidays.
That's what I noticed too. I dont see any update from anyone in the excel tracker. I hope it will move faster by January.

Everything has come to a crawl because of holidays. People are on vacation. Things will pick up pace in Jan.

Just got an update on LPP in the tracker. However, I used to get emails when there is an update on the tracker but I have not been receiving emails whenever there's an update since my test was completed. Is that normal?
