Hell, I'd settle for a simple "We are X% complete on the merge."
I understand the frustration, but they seem to be at a point where it takes as long as it takes. You can't update what you don't know and they don't know how long it will take to test and fix the problems. While there are definitely developers who are just barely on the line above being complete scams, Blue and team have proven to be able to deliver a product. It sucks that it is taking this long, and I don't think anyone is happy about that. I would rather have a delay than a game with a bad base. The ambitious future for the game will fail if the base of the game can't support it. What that means is we have to wait. We know they haven't abandoned the game, they just don't have an estimated timeline yet.
The reason there is no % is Bluecat learned his lesson from Week 1, he kept setting deadlines and missing them. This time he cautiously set a singular deadline and missed it, he's not announcing anything unless he is completely and 100% sure that he is sending an Alpha release out. However annoyed everyone is, not only are they just as if not more annoyed and fed up with this stupid merge, but you all would be far more agitated if they had kept sending out deadlines, missing them, and apologizing every time afterwards in a nonstop loop.
Know they are sick and tired of this merge, want it to be done, and are moving hard on what is left to be done within it to ensure that we don't have to do this again. Hopefully the next merge coming at six months is a lot smoother due to whatever set backs are occurring now.

I'm sure the team is doing their best at this point.
I am curious about total game size though.
The cumulative size right now is already pretty big, but breaking the weeks into separable file segments kept things in check.
Will the new way of doing things allow us to keep file sizes manageable, or will we have to dedicate an entire partition as we go along?

This whole merge, and the length of time it has taken is a huge risk by Bluecat. A lot of interest in this project is waning and when people realize there will be little new content once its done they will be pissed. On top of all that, harem games featuring a school teacher are a dime a dozen now, many are just as well written as this one.
I fear for this games future.

To be clear, I wasn't requesting an ETA. I know, as a developer, how difficult it is under normal conditions to provide an expected time frame for a release.
No, I was simply stating a "let's look at what days are complete, what days aren't, and make a very rough estimate percentage on our completion of this merge."

Is it possible to delete all saves from previous days. I just got to week 2 with the Dark Mind patch but I played through the game without it before so now my saves for Dark Mind aren't showing.

You should find them saved here: C:\Documents and Settings\<Name>\Application Data\RenPy\Ecchi_Sensei
Replace <Name> with the name of your PC or whatever it is you use.
Risk? Yes, however other harem games tend to stall out or falter, very rarely ever coming full circle. This one will retain the motivation even if its making barely enough to get by, because its creator is thinking beyond even this game and far into the future with how he wants to shape this all. I will give it that other games can have phenomenal writing, but I highly doubt there are many out there with the level of foresight and ambitions Bluecat has.
I happen to think that we will see a valley of support and then reach new peaks as things get back on to fast tracks and we also don't have the 'weeks confusion' happening anymore. People can just download, play, and comment and drum up support, things will get back to normal and like with week 1 the bad taste will leave the bulk of everyone's mouth six months from now. As for file size, they understand compression far better now so this whole month will still be less than all of week one's full size. The size will not be an issue.

For Win10 it's C:\Users\Cake\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\xxxx
Replace Cake with whatever username you have.
There are 3 different final folders depending on which part you are playing.

i hope that he's not abadoning this one.
i'm not a really big fan of his game because its to much of a slide of life story.
but i must admit that it's really good for people who likes this kind of story telling.
silence for months meant nearly always abadoning the project.

It hasn't been silent after months. We were getting weekly status reports until new years. They've just seemed to have run into some complications is all, and are now focusing on just getting it sorted out.
still would b enice to know what the problems they are having are o have some sense of whats going on
...?? so this next update is gonna be equally long as the whole game up to now?? a whole month?? that would actually be worth the wait (n better follow up on the rape tag this game has)
easiest way to delete saves is to hover your cursor over the save in the load or save screen and press the delete key....viola!
This merge is all of the 3 current weeks merged together with improvements. The merge won't have 3 additional weeks though, if that's what you mean, it will be as long, possibly a little bit longer, than what it currently is
Edit-
As for rape, among some other tags, there will be more of that in the rest of the game. They'll probably have monthly updates again as it was previously. But there shouldn't be anymore of it in this merge, because it isn't adding additional content

He addressed this in Month 1: Status Report 7
"
Here we are again, and this time I'm telling you about our compression methods because many of you are worried that the file size of Month 1 is going to be huge.
As you might remember, Week 1 has been released in 3 different versions. A heavily compressed version totaling around 1.5 GB, a 4.5 GB version, and an uncompressed 17 GB version.
Because many people have complained about the 17 GB size of Ecchi Sensei's Week 1, even though two much smaller versions were available to download, with the only difference being image quality, there will be no uncompressed version of Month 1.
We will be using the compression method which we have used to great success in the most recent updates. There is almost no noticeable impact on the image quality (with the only real noticeable loss of quality on images with dark backgrounds) and you don't need to wait for hours and hours to get to play Month 1.
I don't want to make any promises, but I'm quite optimistic to guess that Month 1 will probably be smaller than the uncompressed version of Week 1.
