I hesitate to wade into this morass again, but I will repeat what I said earlier:
Somebody is lying to someone. Either a source is lying to DL or they are lying to someone on FT or someone on FT is lying to us. I don't like those odds.
This thread was stupid from the beginning. Nobody with knowledge of actual deliberations on major changes to SM would be blabbing on this thread or to anyone blabbing on this thread. End of story.
