On this date last year, there were 75 appointments that had been listed. This year there are 79. Last year's list ended up with 131 appointments, which was significantly fewer than there had been for at least three years before that. Before last year, the typical list ended up with around 190 appointments. So last year's participation in the appointment thread was way, way down (by like 30%) from prior years.
This is a long-winded way of saying that there are likely many more appointments to go; but whether fewer than half are left or comfortably more than half are left is an unknown, at least based on recent historical patterns of posting appointments.
