Well, nothing solid, really.  Part of it is how we are *WELL* past the 
(possible but not confirmed) desire to get back on the 2-year schedule.  
Also I've seen some chatter in a couple of IRC channels from people I 
know to have some valid information.  The word is that we're waiting for 
KDE/Plasma v6 and once that happens the release will soon follow.  
Nothing for sure, of course, and honestly I have no idea about KDE 
progress, as I don't use it and haven't looked into it lately.

I've actually moved away from Slack some, as I'm running MX Linux (with 
no systemd) on my main daily driver laptop, and I have a Pi4 running 
various tasks for me (on RaspiOS).  I still do have a file server 
running Slackware 15.0, and my BBS runs on -current.  The reason that 
one is on -current is that it has new enough hardware that X won't even 
run on it with 15.0.  Other software is very stale too.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.  ;-)
