2027 Private Equity Oncycle Recruiting

After Apollo and GA rolled back recruiting, what's the scene going to look like for PE oncycle recruiting? 

I assume the sweats are still going to recruit for whichever funds pursue oncycle.

One of the recruiters was floating around Oaktree interest, anyone have details if they're still planning on running an oncycle process?
