for my part any such announcement updating the progress is welcome and warranted. I remember prana a few years ago announced there was a delay achieving database lock then didn't tell us anything for months afterwards so the day before the results actually came out we still didn't know whether it had passed through to statistical analysis or what was going on. thought it was annoying at the time.
this is not to say that they will announce it, and they have previously said that once locked the analysis should be pretty straight forward so let's see.
