... I'm out the door if certain assurances don't come very soon.
I'm not bothering to wait, and the reason is that I don't think CCP is stupid enough to try to use "weasel language."
Trying to trick people with clever wording is a dumb ploy when you're trying to do PR. Saying one day, "No, we're not planning on doing 'golden ammo,'" and the next, "Ah, but we never said anything about ships!" is PR suicide. You might (sometimes) be able to get away with (some of) it in a court, but people here aren't going to be doing a close reading of the "letter" of the statement.
If CCP violates the spirit of prior statements, it'll be almost worse than lying outright. People will respond about the way you'd expect people to respond when subjected to "gotcha" language. That is, with great rage.
We all know the reputation my profession presently enjoys. The last thing you want to look like in front of your customers is a legalistic slimeball. Ergo, it's reasonably safe to take CCP Zulu's statements in the implied spirit.
Mind you, if you're waiting for CCP to say, "we'll never, ever so much as think about it," you may be waiting a while, Graelyn, if only because "never" is a horribly long time. The same may be true if you're waiting for them to say, "And we'll fix FW next week."
