If you don't care, what use would the info be to you?
If you have followed the wholen scirocco affair you know quite well why there's a dead silence from the devs. If not, let me summarize.
Scirocco was announced to be released a week after the announcement. Everyone was excited.
Then, during the Testpatching phase, which supposedly should've only shown some easily solvable quirks, some serious bugs appeared for a large number of those using the testpatch. Solving these bugs was more difficult than anticipated which pushed back the release. Which lead to many people saying very mean and stupid things.
Lesson learned: an announcement even one single week before the release is too early tro be 100% sure that it's doable. Thus, I think the earliest we will be informed of the next patch release is when Scawen uploads it.
Also, during the holidays, Scawen moved and got serious internet connection issues further preventing the completion of the patch, and Eric got seriously flamed which provoked the IMHO justified angry reply of him.
