Anyone know when (or if) the 2020 ACS commuting flows data will be released?

Or did covid mess this one up, too? Any idea, Todd Graham ?
Thanks
Some news on this front.
I contacted Brian McKenzie (thanks Chuck Purvis), and he replied that the ACS 2016-2020 county commuting flows should be released this summer. They'll be associated with the new metropolitan and micropolitan area definitions.
This is good news. It's a very useful database for transportation planners and others!!
I think the challenge will be how to use the single-year ACS data, 2016 through 2020, in combination with the five-year 2016-2020, to simulate a full set of flows for each single year: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 AND 2021.
2020 will be most problemsome given it's only available as a dataset with experimental weights.
