Several Mainland-wide update projects have been pending for a very long time, something no serious Estate owner has left untouched for so long, which makes Mainland less and less viable as a place to own virtual land.

One for which I found a Canny feedback suggestion is the request to update Mainland's default EEP to something less dark and dreary. (https://feedback.secondlife.com/bug-reports/p/fix-eep-mainland-environment-cycle-are-way-too-dark) This has come up many times in user groups but nothing like a delivery plan has emerged. I understand work was completed by the Server team to facilitate spreading this update grid-wide, but there's no word on when we might expect that work to pay off with actual updated default EEPs. (This problem actually antedates PBR, but is more urgent than ever with PBR.)

We also need updates to 2K terrain textures, and then PBR terrain textures, or do both at the same time, whichever has greater and more immediate impact.

There are other Mainland-wide projects needing attention, but these may be a good start for establishing a working process for implementing updates.

As a strawman, I suggest targeting the next Land & Support User Group, February 25 2026, to have an official blog post outlining the planned milestone dates for these two projects.

These projects may have significant scope, but delay has done nothing to reduce that scope.
