"it can take years" is the model for updating
New listings are not 'updates' to thr directory, they are additions. "it
can take years" is not a model, merely a statement of fact. Many sites are listed that are
never suggested to the directory. Some are listed within hours/days of suggestion. Some unfortunately languish for months or years. Editors add sites to the categories they have an interest in editing, at any given time many categories have no editor interested in them, some have multiple editors. A specific category might have a new and enthusiastic editor tomorrow, an existing editor may take an interest in a new area tomorrow, equally neither may occur for months or years. Thats a reality, sugar coating it helps no one (and forcing editors to work where they have no interest only means we lose editors, leading to less growth/maintenance in the areas they are interested in).
