So, I know that this will break a definite rule and probably annoy some people, but...
I needed to ask for an update on release times *please, don't hit me*
To clarify, I'm aware of the amount of effort that Jadedcat, Eyamaz and other modpack developers put into their work, and I also know
that they don't get payed and seemingly do it all for the genuine feeling of pleasure and accomplishment. Furthermore, I know that this goes
unappreciated by a lot of the community. But on the other hand, it's been several months since we've had any real updates (beyond the Unstable test pack of course) which is fine, and definitely a large step toward further updates, but the lack of even an extremely vague release date is distancing a lot of player from using FTB. In my own case, in particular, I just want to know if it's better for me to go through the painstaking effort to build my own pack using ATL or something similar, or wait for the FTB packs which will, invariably, be much better.
My friends and I love playing modded Minecraft together, but we haven't played in a long time while waiting for updates. We really want to start a 1.7.10 server, but we also love the FTB packs.
So ... that basically translates to (and I'm really, really sorry for asking and I know I'll probably just get blocked from the forum immediately) but:
is it worth waiting another month before starting a patchy 'homemade' server?
Even a little comment like "Pack development going smoothly" or some tiny piece of update news would put me, my friends, and I suspect a large portion of the fanbase, at ease. Also when I said I was aware of the amount of effort, what I actually meant was "I struggle with making basic modded packs and therefore you must be shining gods to produce the mod-heavy, intricate FTB ones". So that's more of an assumption than anything. I don't actually have much experience.
If in fact there have been some recent tidbits of news in regards to the 1.7.10 pack development then I'm really sorry if you read through my pointless post, and could you please link them?
*grovel, scrape, plead*
Thanks.

Having a 1.7.10 pack on the launcher myself I know how hard it is to make sure the pack is perfect! A lot of work and time has to be put in because why put out a broken pack? No one would play and it would have been a waste. The guys at FTB want the best packs out there for you to play all they ask in return is patience.

We all call you doctor death behind your back. wellllllll, now front, crap ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HI'm not a Doctor, I have no need for Patients.
Also slightly offended by being called someone from ages ago. I've put a lot of hours into keeping that thing updated.If you are playing with 4 or less players on the server, you are legally allowed to distribute it by whatever means you like (except for ad.fly, or ad.fly-like links). If you are playing with more than 4 other players, you can put the modpack through the launcher IF you have the permissions from the mod authors. Here is a OneDrive doc from someone ages ago that tabulated those that allow FTB modpacks or not (these may be outdated, so double check before you request to put your modpack on the launcher):

Watchful recently added tons of new mods to the spreadsheet. There were only four mods in all of Running Red that weren't on the spreadsheet, and those were either very recent or not very widely known mods. He did amazing work on it.Also slightly offended by being called someone from ages ago. I've put a lot of hours into keeping that thing updated.

You could probably get a rough estimate by researching the time period from the release of Minecraft 1.6.4 to the time when Tech World 2, Agrarian Skies, Monster, Direwolf or any of those 1.6.4 modpacks were added.
I'd do it but I already have enough research to deal with in my engineering studies.
