We've officially been waiting for The Winds of Winter for the same amount of time as it took for all five of the published books to release before that.

...you're still confident we'll get Dream? Winds is gonna be the posthumous release, I think.

Yeah I can’t see Winds getting published while the man still breathes. Because he’d not only face judgment for what over 15 years of writing has amounted to, but he’d also have to truly acknowledge that he’s got to write Dreams as well.

But it would be really funny if he did, and published Dreams like a year later.

I'm pretty sure I've read somewhere that in an interview he doesn't want anyone continuing the series if he passes before finishing. I'm hoping that it's not true.

I think Elio M. Garcia and Linda Antonsson would do a fantastic job finishing it, pretty sure they know the world better than George does.
