Status: index is at all data centers. Subtle spam filter comes soon. Fresh data coming in next days. Timeframe: more than weeks, less than months. Timeframe again. And changes expected for country language / TLD / redirection next week. Traditional update(s) expected for a little while longer. After, things will be more gradual.
Phase 2 Begins

Some fresh data might be incorporated next-day, but I wouldn't expect everything freshbot found yesterday to make it in a day. There's a lot of data that needs to be fetched and cross-checked--I would expect the full data to show up more on the timeframe of what you would expect from a crawl/index. Step 1 is done (index is at all data centers). I know that one subtle spam filter is going in soon, but Napoleon, I would start counting on the weeks-but-not-months comment beginning from the time that the index switchover finished. Again, just trying to give webmasters iinformation so they have the right expectations: more than weeks, less than months.
But I'm glad that people have noticed that freshie has been crawling deeply in addition to normal freshie duties.

I think we're on the same wavelength, Napoleon.
P.S. About the questions you raised about country language/tld/redirection, I think we've got some changes scheduled soon (next week) that should bring it in line with what many users expect again. Just wanted to let you know that that was coming too.

crobb305, some things will be filtering in sooner (I know a few more autospam filters will happen earlier), and I wouldn't be surprised to see fluctuations in backlinks and pages, but I would hold on to the idea of an update that brings in more data for a little while longer. In time, I do think things will be more gradual. However, we're still in the transition period for this system, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a traditional update for a little while longer. Hope that helps.
