What is going on here? We have two White-winged Scoters, M. fusca and M. deglandi as species, as well as M. fusca fusca and M. fusca deglandi still as subspecies of a united WWSC |

I don't know if it is really slow to update but my records still show a mix of the 2 species. I should have no fusca records
I split fusca see https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/velvet-white-winged-scoter-split/7846/10
been flagged for action since August, but regular curators cant do anything about it
