This headline reminded me to check my position on the waiting list. On April 1st, I was at #166319. Now I'm at #166208.

If they keep adding capacity at the same rate, I should get access about 100 years from now :(

My wait-list number has dropped by half since I signed on. There is hope.

Did the number drop by more than 211 in the last 25 days?

If so, the wait list isn't a simple FIFO queue.

It should not be a FIFO. They probably want diversity of countries, ISPs, devices, etc. According to your profile you're located in China so they're surely not short of Chinese test subjects for a VPN ;)

It's either a FIFO or the message you are #xxxxx on the waiting list is bullshit.

Care to share your number?

I don't really get why they're rolling it out so slowly.

To shake out the bugs without overburdening the support team. There's a lot of device/network heterogeneity out there.
