seven weeks now.

seriously, if you found you were wrong about this issue, then a 
responsible investigator reports back that the original claim was 
erroneous - rather than leaving it hanging there like a fart in a warm 
room.  if you're still working on it, then "we're still working on it" 
is appropriate, since 'soon' long ago lapsed.

either there's an issue - serious or not - or there is no issue. it 
becomes FUD when a definitive statement is never forthcoming - seven 
weeks is certainly not within any reasonable definition of "soon".
