Ilford Pan F coming to large format?

A couple of years ago I reported in a PM a conversation I had at the Photography Show. In the light of this post, it may be relevant to repeat it here.

We've just arrived back from the Photography Show. There is one snippet of information gleaned from a chat with the speaker after a talk on "how to choose a black and white film" by someone from Harman.

In the talk, she had said that PanF was only really suitable in very bright light, such as was scarcely found in the UK. I queried this afterwards and one thing lead to another. On her bringing up hand holding at slow shutter speeds, I brought up being a LF user who normally had a camera tripod mounted. She said that Harman had received many requests for PanF Plus in sheet film; I mentioned that I understood it couldn't be done because of the film base.

I was then countered by two remarks: "it used to be" followed by "keep a watch on the web site".

I take this to be a pretty clear hint that Harman are intending to make PanF Plus available in sheet film sooner rather than later.
