While it's a good reason to delay a certain character's update for a month or two, going nearly a year and a half without updates is excessive. if they're worried about a character's route getting too far ahead then maybe they should consider doing a filler* update for said character or cutting/delaying another character's filler updates.
For reference, here's how many non-sponsored updates each character got since after Bezvy and Pyeka's last update:

I can understand why some characters like Kendra got so many updates but did Diula really need a fourth update before either Pyeka or Bezvy? Not that I don't like her but half her scenes are sex scenes that have close to zero impact on her route.
*By filler I mean scenes that are only there to pad out the route. I doubt scenes like the one where the MC shoves his arm up Bezvy's ass or when Yakku travels to Makla with the MC in her boot were vital to their respective routes.
