Is 2025-03 M2 delayed?

Hello everyone,
quick question: is 2025-03 M2 delayed? I was expecting to have an email from @MohananRahul announcing M2 in my inbox but I didn't see it.

As per our practice over the years, we typically do not publish or make announcements for M2 lightweight releases. Similarly, M1 and M3 are also now considered lightweight. However, we continue to promote M1 and M3 releases despite their lightweight nature. https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator/blob/master/RELEASE.md#milestonerc-week.

Thank you for the pointer!
Does that mean that there is not going to be a URL for M2 either? I checked https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ and there's still the M1 link.

I assume that is the part under Friday / Make the build visible ?

I'll use Thursday's link to update our IDEs (https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.35-I-builds/I20250123-1800/). For how long is this update link valid?

FYI. This file is always updated to the m*/rc* site
