Latest review

First review round: 7.0 weeks. Overall rating: 3 (good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
The whole review process was relatively quite speedy. The initial response from reviewers was positive but brief. The typical request for revision after review was instead replaced with a rejection followed by a request for re-submission as a 'new manuscript'. This seemed unnecessary.
