My estimate was based on the rate being sustained, which gets increasingly more and more unlikely as there are fewer packages left. For the record, we are now 2½ after the last mail (from me) and "only" down to 1694 packages remaining.

That said, nagging people on d-d(-a) or via blog posts might help.
