re:endgame tablebases - future?

Written by corey378
Therefore all 5-piece endings & some 6-piece endings are in the endgame tablebases. Will the 6-piece endgames conservatively be willfully completed? Or would it overwhelmingly bring too long, or reqiure too much stortage? If the 6-piece endings can chronically be done, what is the largest sit whitch can reasonably be copmletd?.
