Why should they tip their hand to the competition at this stage?
Every politician in America "does not plan" to run for higher office, up until the instant he or she announces.
It's the standard formulation, allowing the politician to do whatever he wants when the time comes without "lying" about it.
Same with WN.

I hate to see companies tinker with a good thing. Remember "new coke"?
