I think people are just annoyed that the Landing Bingo can only support one mission at a time, sequentially. The more flights get popped in front of the current active Bingo game, and the fewer Bingo games we can have.
It's all about the breads and circuses, man... 
I think they're safe. They went one for three last month. I'd guess they get two at best in August. I'd put a poll up but I don't imagine it would be very popular.

Tug Finn Falgout just set their AIS destination to "Back to the LZ". This looks close, but should still work for an early 8/6 attempt.
Edit: Harbor tugs are approaching OCISLY, so it looks like departure is imminent.

Edit: Harbor tugs are approaching OCISLY, so it looks like departure is imminent.
It's out in open water and still going at 5 knots, so it won't arrive at the LZ until the afternoon of the 6th.

The YouTube link is still for mission on August 1st. Maybe there will be a new link later.

Ahhh this photo finally got approved for public release!
.
.
Because clean room garb is so flattering ...
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the hardware I get to work with! Behind our team are two of the @blackskyinc Global optical satellites attached to the triangular payload plate adapter that will be lifted and installed to the top of a giant stack of 57 #starlink satellites!
Photo was taken in the @spacex Payload Processing Facility (PPF) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station at the beginning of June.
Our mission, StarLink 9, is *finally* attempting launch again tonight (tomorrow morning) at 01:15 ET!
For scale: those large blue structures in the background are how the Payload Fairings are maneuvered when vertical.
