Great news and a great work by Mirko and his team ! I look forward to the day when I can have my pre-ordered papers delivered.

I would hope for research purposes they have some prints made on fresh Polywarmtone back when it was still made, and the negatives they were printed from. If not, I'm sure we could help them get it. Although there would be some uncontrollable variables like enlarger and lens, it would probably be better than comparing new PW prints with prints made today on 7 year old paper.
Interesting point you make about the inverse correlation between longevity and the inclusion of optical brighteners and incorporated developers in such papers as Ilford FB.
Can you say what you believe to be the link between lack of longevity and incorporated developers and optical brighteners?
Perhaps Ilford might care to comment on its findings in these respects?

You can certainly sepia tone it. (Caveat - I've never used it but other WT papers sepia tone nicely as do many neutral papers though the results are rather different. I routinely brown tone Ilford MGWT.) I don't know any paper that produces a real sepia look without additional toning.
It's been a year since the last blog entry. I'm starting to worry. Almost 7 years older since this journey began too.
