Not a word has been said by anyone TWI on the matter. I expect it's a decision they're going to go with and they see no benefit in telling the community what they're going to do. Who, exactly, that is meant to spare, the people that want a reset or the people that don't.....who knows. At this point I think they know what they're going to do and they've weighed the benefits of telling us about it and decide they're not that that great.
Either way this is good news all around and I hope this update is out very soon. I'm fairly sure that if TWI doesn't implement an official reset, there will be a ghetto way to do it ourselves at the very least. While that may not make everyone happy, I think it would make most people happy.
