That isn't going to happen. Why? Because CJK is in the hands of the
IRG, who work on it constantly and will give us new characters
whenever they are ready. A very great number of other scripts, on the
other hand, are being worked on by people like me. When something is
ripe, it is ripe.

I am not concentrating on Tengwar these days, having said that. Most
recently I concentrated on Aegean scripts and Osmanya.
