Early sync was actually done on Tuesday. 2022-03-22 17:12:56+01:00 to be exact.
This announcement https://discuss.getsol.us/d/8153-sync-deferred-3182022 should have been dated for this week. There was a misunderstanding about which week it would occur.
1,000~ package rebuilds are in progress due to glibc, ncurses, and readline updates. Fun. 😛
