So 2½ years on from this internal advice, how far has this very simple process got, in the fleet?

I've never seen a Temu Shower Curtain once.

Shower curtain on yesterday’s flight from CNS-BNE. Think rego was VH-IJQ.

It was deployed during the flight though the crew advised that only one toilet was serviceable down the back, so they allowed some pax to come through during peak use.
 
So some seats will the remain without USB charging ports then?
No. In-seat power is being installed in all seats. On the "refurbished" economy seats, the USB ports are in between the seat pockets. On the ex Silk Air aircraft (excl. IJQ/IWQ), they're actually universal power ports under the seat near your feet.

As at start Dec. About 11 aircraft have curtain. About 30 aircraft expected to have it by end of this month. Ongoing delays to roll it out.

Divider rollout starting next FY July onwards.

Have been on one last month, looks weird. It's got a slightly purpleish color on the mesh which gives it the world famous temu feel. Having been on an AA US domestic flight recently I'll say it should look slightly less awkward once they put in the sky divider (or whatever they call that piece of hanging plastic). Also the curtian on AA is just grey or dark blue which is more neutral to the eye and helps a lot actually
