"we will put in writing privately, what we have put in writing publicly here and in our FAQ's and other forum posts." Doesn't sound like they were going to tell you anything really new anyway. It makes sense for them to be as non-specific as possible. We're not talking about a hammer here. It's all just data. People here have already figured out a lot of clever ways to do things that the creators probably never envisioned. They don't want to end up in the position of having ok'ed something only to find that someone's figured out a way to take money off the table that they think should be theirs. From their point of view, that's just good business sense.
