Sort:  

Last I checked... earlier today... They have to vote on the block producers and then there's a 3 day waiting period for final testing, then it launches.
I'm not so sure that it's last-second but it just takes a lot to hit the ground running and it's impossible to anticipate all the problems you might run into.

And not sure on the wallet yet either

Grey Mass voting tool looks like the way to go:
