I have flights from April 10th which have posted on AE and Altitude, but not on EYW. Are there other datapoints out there to indicate average posting delay?

I have flights recorded in Aeroplan/Altitude on the 10th (with AQD) and 13th (without AQD as of now) - but not in EYW right now.

Same here. April 10. My flights were the new Comfort branded fare - so wondering/hoping that we didn't have a missed flight issue similar to the G fare issue with EYW6.

Married segments are eating me alive :/
Everything is S2. Until I combine them. Then it's U0. M time!
No it won't.
Edit:
The website broke a fare of mine (I knew it was happening when I booked). I called in to try to get it back together for a lower price, and the agent said "this is for the contest, right?".
I was talking about segments 7-12 on the PNR (longest layover from 1-12 is 69 minutes, so they're all connections), so it was fairly obviously an unusual booking. But I guess enough of us have been calling

Yep, that could be the shortsighted view. The bigger view is -- do our very best customers rave to others about us? build our base? promote us? This one doesn't.

It might be more than just Comfort that aren't posting.
I had flights flown on Apr 13, that posted to Aeroplan on Apr 16, and didn't post after today's refresh.
Booked in Latitude.

Are you sure? I've done this once in past EYW and it worked. My understanding of the T&C is you can't re-book a flight that was originally booked before the booking window, but I don't see where it says you can't upfare something? I'm also unsure how they would track this since it posts to Altitude as Flex?

“Apologies on the wait for this response – I had to ask a higher-up for the answer. Unfortunately Standard fares are not eligible for the game, so the upgrade to Flex won't show up as points for this EYW. Do let us know if you have any other questions.”
