ETA for css-flexbox-2 initial draft

[gitspeaks]

@astearns Just wondering if there's an estimated timeline for the initial draft of css-flexbox-2. Looking through the issues tagged with css-flexbox-2, it looks like discussions about an update started over 7.5+ years ago. Any concrete date on when this update might actually happen?

Also, I’m not sure if it makes sense to open more issues for css-flexbox-1. I noticed that two issues I opened, #11414 and #11392, didn’t get any tags or were rejected, while my other issues about more "editorial" stuff did get tagged. This got me wondering about where things stand with the Flexbox spec.

Thanks in advance!

There is no estimated timeline. We'll draft a new version if/when we have an editor who feels it's a worthwhile thing to spend time on. At the moment, the interested editors (me and @fantasai) are working on other things. In the meantime, the flexbox-2 issues list serves as an archive for us to revisit later.

Those issues were opened around the December holidays, when many of us are either on holiday or working on lowkey projects. It's not unexpected for things to be delayed during this season.
