At the time I was a product manager looking after some of the more technically complex features (components, variables, publishing). They were worried that Extended Collections (multi-brand theming essentially) would be delayed further, which at the time was also a dependency for slide theming and themes for their prompt to design feature.

With all honesty it was the most technically complex feature I’ve ever worked on. I think my boss at the time didn’t think he could cover for me. That doesn’t mean it was a fair ask though - I had requested that time off 6mo in advance and had everything approved, it was also between thanksgiving and Christmas, the slowest time of the year. It soured me quite a bit.
