Don't worry about it!
He said he did this remake on his freetime (one week every 40 days, he's got plenty of time to process this minor detail).
His patreons are all happy by his explanations, except THE 'pessimistic' Randy Klein.
Here I see people happy to have 4 to 5 updates a year (corresponding to a half PD), rather than 1 PD every 150-200 days as before. They feel an increase in pace from year to year (we are not going to break their enthusiasm ! in our post-modernity world, it's the feeling that counts, not the truth...).
The choice of the remake is relevant (there is no need to seize the opportunity of this to envisage a collaboration, stupid question from Randy, who will never have the answer on this point), and the progress of the game is very good (at this pace, est. finish : 2034 just perfect
).
You see, everyone is happy
Why worry so much?
