hard for me to tell if the min die size is 0.8 mm^2 or is it 10 mm^3... the differentiator is bold and I can't tell (tried adding css font-weight:bold property to the text, and it didn't change the line thickness... but I can't be sure that means the dates are actually in bold or if the css was blocked)

There is a shuttle tape-in in a bit more than a week so I think most people are finishing their stuff for it ... it doesn't show the registration for it becaus it's closed ( registration dead line was beginning of the month IIRC ).

Not sure about the min area but definitely not 10 mm^2, we made dies smaller than that.
