The post on the murmurs of a production halt is here from yesterday:

Boeing is in all sorts of trouble with this aircraft. poor management decisions from the firm resulted in dodgy software, two fatal aircraft crashes were the result.

The fix, and FAA tick of approval, is taking a long time. Probably just as well.
