Sunless Sea backer-only content for all?

Forgive me if this has been answered previously by Failbetter, but is there any news on when the reward content for Fallen London from the higher Sunless Sea kickstarter pledge tiers (i.e. the Parabolan Panther, Dadd Wing, Cladery Heart & Surgeon's Child) will be available to non-backers?
From the FAQ at the bottom of the Sunless Sea kickstarter page:
"NEW: Will the backer-only content ever be available to non-backers after Sunless Sea is launched?
It would be a shame to rule it out for people who never heard of the KS - but we want to reward our backers properly. So we will only offer it (i) a minimum of six months after delivery to backers (ii) at a higher price than the pledge level that allows it."
The panther was released to backers last year, and Sunless Sea has been out for around six months. As a lower-tier backer who only got into Fallen London after the kickstarter was over, I'm very interested in getting the additional content (presumably in exchange for Fate). Alternatively, since there's also bonus Sunless Sea content in the reward tiers (Pirate Poet, Cladery Heart, etc.), will the content be released as DLC for Sunless Sea, which would then connect back to one's FL account to provide the additional FL content? I'm just curious if there are any plans for this.

Yeah I would love this. Even if it's fate-locked or requires you to purchase Sunless Sea DLC I'd be fine with it

The issue here is that not all of the Sunless Sea kickstarter exclusive content has been delivered to the backers even yet. Well some of it has, like the panthers and the Dadd Wing, both of which have been out for 6+ months (Dadd was out last Halloween), but that statement above makes it very ambiguous as to when the 6 month timer starts. Is it individual for each piece of content? Is it for all backer content as a whole? Who can say, its a puzzle and a mystery. That said, I am still very much looking forward to the Pirate Poet release whenever that comes out, and the Caldery Heart/Surgeon's Child. Those sound pretty cool right?

I had no idea the backers have yet to receive all the content they were promised. Hopefully that gets settled in the near future. My initial guess would be that they would be doing individual timers for each piece of content as it arises, though the lack of any as-of-yet coming into sale for non-backers could suggest otherwise. No doubt that it'll be a blast whenever it comes out to enjoy the stories and additional content, I just hope it's sooner than later (though I'm sure the Failbetter crew is already working hard on completing their remaining promised content and devising how best to market said content to the player masses). Can't wait!
