I'm just frustrated by how much people are reading from so little.

As far as I know, the GDC's default course of action is to do nothing at this point in the season. Of course, they can and do make updates if there is something to clarify or that needs to be changed. But the GDC making an empty update is instead simply making a statement. Considering that this sort of thing is (AFAIK) unprecedented, we can guess it's a pretty big/profound/attention-grabbing statement. If the GDC wanted to say nothing, they would have. If the GDC wanted to tell us something directly, they would have. But the GDC doing something like this tells me that they want us to figure out their message. In other words, they encouraged this sort of meaning reading and speculation by doing this.
