2020 PE Off-Cycle?

Given the early timing of PE recruitment this year (2020 process), have we officially entered the off-cycle? If so, what types of PE firms will look to recruit before the end of the year? There had been discussions on some other threads that some MF, Upper MM, and MM funds would be leaving some slots open in their 2019 / 2020 associate classes for later recruitment processes.
