1/ On Feb 19, Eth researcher Danny Ryan gave a talk at EthDenver.
At 13:30, he asks “So wen?”
“It’s actually, very close. I think he’s [difficulty bomb] going to be impeccably timed.”
By “impeccably timed”, we can infer that the merge will occur in time to disarm the bomb

2/ On Consensus Layer Call #83, Danny Ryan was asked why Kiln was pushed back 10 days
Danny says they were completing technical items & needed to engage w the community, but the 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 is what’s telling
Implementors are counting days, not months, to meet the June goal

3/The merge readiness checklist is nearing completion. Out of the 80 total items needed to be completed, only 30 remain
While its not as simple as just comparing “checked” vs “unchecked” boxes to estimate completion, most difficult items are already done

5/As specified in EIP-4345, the time between blocks will begin increasing in June 2022.
Devs will be pushing against the clock to determine if they should do a hard fork to move the difficulty bomb, or use the hard fork to implement the merge.
