So....no one has told Clark anything....ergo, he hasn't heard anything yet....
At least, that's what I was jumping to. You may not have mentioned it specifically, but neither have they mentioned anything to you specifically...so you haven't heard anything one way or the other yet...?
Unless you've heard something about it and just haven't asked Steve about it specifically...which would be wierd, I think.

Not impossible, though.
Anyhoo, it's semantics.
As for the thing up on ps3e, that's about the recent idea that Brannon and Ken (Ken's the go-to guy for 3e PS, really) had to, instead of develop the rules and ideas themselves, give it to the ps3e workers and community to help create, and the discussion that's going on now.
As it sits, we're still working out how to do factions, but that's the only real major mechanical difference between PS and anything else. Most other stuff is flavor, races, PrC's, etc. The Factions are a big rules-sticking point, and everyone and their invisible friend has a few good ideas on how to do 'em.
Of course, if S&S picks this up and decides that we can't release the offical 3e version or work on it, all of our plotting, planning, and bickering will come to naught, as they'll do it "Whichever Way They Please," and it'll probably be cool regardless. ^_^
So, unless Clark is hinting that he may have heard something but hasn't confirmed it (or something...), I'm still saying it's a slim chance.
But, hey, if it means I can get a hardcover with the Lady of Pain staring at me out of it, I'll be happy. ^_^
