We cant make out any conclusions yet since we dont know on what are the updates that they are trying to announce on.
actually there is , post in 2 months ago mentioned this and i think this is the next update .
This is a great idea... we will talk with the editorial team to see about adding a market or two related to the bitcointalk forums.
Bitcointalk community: What do you think would be the best suggestions for markets? So far from famososMuertos we have:
• When will the first user reach 10,000 merits?
• What year will the first user reach 10,000 merits?
• When will user number 4 million register?
so i believe that the update is near these topics though of course there will be some revision or upgrade but at least about Bitcointalk is what they gonna release.
