Latest review

First review round: 26.1 weeks. Overall rating: 5 (excellent). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
There was a delay cause by a change of the backend system, but the editor was communicating this transparently. The review was thorough with clear guidance from the editor what needs to be improved. We're happy with the way it turned out.
