@SIGSTART Not sure if you saw the most recent, but they did share more info after I inquired. I create a topic here (as I often do) to share with everyone. You can read it at PSA: More info on Unsupported Region
In that they kind of want through and partially/generally discussed why they pulled support, especially in regards to recent changes on Gemini. Also have some changes coming out, which is in Nightly now, which will help to get regions brought back. They are still aiming to get everyone back by the end of the year.
Chance of that should be at or near 0. They are working on getting everyone back.
