Latest review

First review round: 11.6 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Reviewer 1 was strongly in favour of the publication right away while Reviewer 2 insisted on the work being unsuitable, citing a lack of novelty. Given the broad public interest in the work (as evidenced via its pre-print), the editor supported the publication but, to acknowledge Reviewer 2's concerns, requested the reformatting of the article to a technical note.
