Don’t forget about the upcoming Brent reno/swing space.
Definitely considered it.

Please don’t check until May!
Unless you have a connection the list will not update until right before that date or even 2 days after.
After May the list will update regularly all the way until October.
This is the correct advice and yet I will check many times between now and May, as though by some magic I can will the lists to move early. I know I'm not alone, too. Some of us are crazy.
lol, I’m telling you all the paperwork is
Processed by central at the same time they don’t do the first update until May 1st or even right after people who had properly enrolled didn’t see their account info update for over a week in some cases and were going crazy, good luck on movement and getting a the choice you desire.
I know you're right, this is not my first rodeo. I just also know I will wind up logging in to look periodically anyway. I'll also probably submit post-lottery applications, in some cases just to see what waitlists at those schools look like. At this point I just accept that this is how I cope with the limited control one has over the lottery results, and try to laugh about it even though I know it's all futile.
