Latest review

First review round: 8.6 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
First review round was reasonably fast and reviews very very useful and from very competent reviewers. Second review round took some time, but the waiting until final decision after the second review was unnecessary long as there were only two minor changes to look through.
