Yea, apparently Koda got fired, but he still intends to publish respite (the kaori stuff). But respite still got delayed because koda for some reason just had to make a translated & bugfixed version of one of bo's side-projects (which he only started because koda kept delaying everything).
In the first place bo never really cared about wg beyond it's original version, the additional updates were just excuses for koda to delay everything else.
So while the project is technically still alive in some sort of way, you should keep your expectations low. It's basically last place on koda's release schedule.
