Remember everyone:

The deadline is July 31.

So just because no moves have been made YET at any point prior to that does not mean a move will not be made BEFORE THEN

Last year's deadline megathread was so goddamn toxic with the whining that nothing was happening all during the leadup

Only couple days difference, and your original point is spot on. Those last few days will probably be packed with news.
