apparently regular BOST is in strife (again) but the intent is for it to complement it rather than replace it. regular BOST is definitely not a yearly thing any more, since it's so hard to maintain enough interest to run it remotely frequently, but this... hopefully will be, since it's such a small project by comparison it should be a lot more manageable and i'm hoping the "of the year" hook can give it some staying power
but yeah i definitely hope BOST (real) can come back
