Update on when names on census will be correctable?

Michael W. McCormick, AG® said: FamilySearch announced months/year ago the ability to make corrections to indexed records.
They acknowledged that it takes time for them to activate this ability in each collection so it may be awhile before it is possible in some collections. So I patiently waited for several months and still I am finding records that cannot be edited (not just in obscure collections, but still the major census record collections for the US have many that cannot be edited). Anyone have an update?
If it was going to be several months or years before the major census record collections would actually have editable names I personally would have rather FamilySearch did not announce it, and only flipped the switch on this when at least the major collections were ready. Now we all think something is a feature that really is not a feature on most records. I'd rather just be told about it when it is being developed and when it is ready, not when it is ready on a few records, but not ready on most. Like I said. I'd rather they had left it off until more was ready. That is just me though. I am confident others will strongly disagree with that.
Here is an example record. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/619...
Anna Hart on the index is actually Anna Trentler on the image.
