They made an announcement in December (about a future switch to GPU algo and possible masternodes) that was followed by a complete community meltdown for not meeting expectations.  People accused them of manipulating prices, destroying hope and murdering kittens.  There were actual personal threats against them, which as you can see, are still happening as we speak.  They're probably a little hesitant to say much of anything at this point.  Can't say I blame them for being wary of new updates.

I'm not blaming you for asking either, just offering some context.
