SRM did give himself the 'oh but maybe at PAX' backdoor though...
Like hell. But if that turns out to be the case, I'll have a much more exciting time up in Seattle than I anticipated.

I actually tried to go back and change the title of the thread and leave off the "S" but I couldn't.
Just press "Go Advanced" when in edit mode.
As for the article, it would indeed blow my mind if 5e was announced at Gencon this year. 4e announcement was a huge event, with countdown on the WotC front page for days up to Gencon, and I don't see WotC choosing to make a new edition a low-key event.
Don't get me wrong, I like/love 4e, but I still think they can do better, and I wouldn't mind a new edition. What can I say, I like buying books.
I think that maybe Mearls is laying the groundwork for 5e (as outlined in his LL articles), and such, but that we are still 1-2 years off seeing that edition.
They have a new product seminar tomorrow. I doubt it's about 5e but I am curious if they will go back to rpg stuff instead of all these boardgames and cards.
I had a friend who went to the San Diego comic con a couple weeks ago - he got a chance to talk to a couple WotC folks, and they mentioned to him that they were considering supporting older editions as well as 4e. No elaboration was given, but I can imagine something like DDI being used to provide some support for the older editions.
Anyways, that's just what he told me, so who knows. I'm here at Gen Con this week so we should know what's happening soon enough (Saturday from 10am - 12pm EST to be specific).
