Has there been any movement on getting Smith Florins similar to how tailoring has them?

If I recall correctly, the crafting updates and farming updates (the fancy crafting gumps and the tailor florins) were being worked on back in 2016, but were abandoned (when the other admins left) so that +C could focus on shard stability.
You should be able to read about this in the shard update threads (roadmaps). Essentially +Colibri decided that playing whackamole with bug reports while tackling new game features was going to burn him out and therefore he should focus on eliminating the bugs (which he has been quite successful at). He's had a few projects that he's talked about over the years, for example portal 2.0 and updated help menu functionality. From what I gather, his next project is a priority voting system. So he can figure out what he wants to focus his free time on next.

The crafting updates were +Arden's project. They were abandoned when he left. I don't recall why he left; does anyone have more info? It was unrelated to the Nyx/Veritas departure IIRC.

Looks like +A might have left in the last half of 2019 or early 2020 from what I can see on the forums. I swear there was at least a world chat announcement that he was leaving, but unfortunately the portal chatlogs only go back to Jan 31, 2021.

Looks like +Colibri will have to answer this question. I don't want to speculate or start rumors with information I may have been told not to share. I don't feel like spending any more hours combing through forum history.
