Any news on the Syzygy distance to mate tables?

I remember there was some talk about them some months ago, but I have not heard anything in a long while and I don't see related activity on the github site.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

Yes, I was so jazzed I started planning on the hardware to buy to build them.
