FCMP++ update

https://monero.observer/monero-talk-diego-salazar-interview-fcmps-status/

[..] we’re pretty happy now with divisors and we let MRL know that this past Wednesday [..] The actual issue was that Monero Research Lab wanted an answer within X number of weeks. [..] That was the whole Twitter scare of like ‘FCMPs has been delayed’. What was actually delayed by the way was the testnet. FCMPs itself was never promised at a particular time.. (Diego @ 27:20)
