Neither Q nor A for the moment

Post 143941 by GhostintheMachine deleted for the following reason: Seems like if this is a thing where there's an expectation of some sort of detailed reporting coming out soon, it'd be better to specifically wait until that has happened and/or there's some other less-rumor, more-facts-on-the-ground stuff shaking out. -- cortex
