Does a release schedule exist for GDB data?

Does anyone know for sure if Census plans to continue to release the GDBs?  If so, does a release schedule exist?

I noticed that the GDB files are not listed on ACS Data Release schedules, only their tabular data products are listed.  From the FTP site, I see the release dates of the following 5-yr files:

2012-2016 files were released on Feb. 27th, 2018.
2011-2015 files were released on Mar. 7th, 2017.
2010-2014 files were released on Feb. 16th, 2016.
2009-2013 tract file released on Feb. 4th, 2015, county file released on March 16th, 2015.
2008-2012 tract file released on March 14th, 2014, county file released on March 18th, 2014.
 
Thanks,
Diana
