For example, from Dec.3, 2009 this is how the waiting room folks(I'd received my license just 3 month prior) listed their status pending issues/complaints/gripes/frustrations/etc, ad nauseum,

It really made for trying times when the DPS informed us all to a great detail. Not what we see today.
Today we don't see it, because their processing times have improved so much. We just see something like: "application received. Please wait for processing, or something like that. THEN, out of the blue you see on that page: change of address, report lost or stolen card, etc. That's it....nothing more. If you see the address change screen, it's been printed and more than likely you'll receive it int the next 5-7 days
So......if you have been waiting 14 days, or 21 days or longer, just look back at what it used to be.
P.S. I can give you MANY more examples of the frustrations we used to endue. And I'll be happy to provide those, if you'd like. Just ask.
Hope that answers some questions.
