This is generally correct.  The HVR-2200/2250 project was done for a
couple of commercial customers, and it went upstream in an effort to
give something back to the community.  That said, the commercial
customers are satisfied with the performance/reliability of the device
(for their use cases) which has resulted in development slowing down
(combined with being very busy with other projects and not having
cycles to dedicated to tracking down relatively obscure edge cases).

Cheers,

Devin
