Lack of communication regarding Linux support

Let me start off by saying that the game looks awesome and I really want to play it. I'm also pleased to see that the developers are taking time to listen to the community and try to make Ashes the product they want to play.



However, communication regarding one particular area has been sorely lacking: Linux support.



Is it still happening?



Is it actively in the works? (not just "we're doing this and then we'll do this and then sometime get around to Linux so yeah, we're working on it". I mean actually being worked on)



Is there some sort of estimate on how long it will take, however vague or incorrect they may be?



I'm not trying to come across as impatient or pushy. I can wait a long time for linux support. I just want to know that it's actually going to happen and this won't turn into another game that promised linux support but never bothered to deliver.



Edit: Developers have responded. End of 2017 is an estimated date for linux support (best case).
