Sonos: Updated API Connection with Sonos + Pandora "Modes"

Good Day All,
Hope everyone is well and good.

So, is there any news (good or bad) about a new API connection for Sonos?
Apparently Sonos updated their platform without coordinating with music service providers and, as a result, Radio Station Modes are no longer available for Sonos.
- I already checked with Sonos who admitted the oversight of updating without coordinating with Pandora but say the API connection must now be engaged by Pandora.

I really really appreciate "Modes" and am hoping Pandora and Sonos will work together to restore this functionality to Sonos.

What have you heard?
