@Martin...Gotcha. Perfectly valid opinion. However, I'm quite certain that there hasn't been a pending new version that HASN'T been speculated about in advance...at least not that I can recall in the decade that I've been a BIAB user.
And typically, those "pre-release" speculative threads are among the most viewed and posted to threads in the entire forum.
So, right or wrong, it's really quite traditional.
And I would "speculate" that we are not "several months" from the new version. (If "several" is defined as 3 or more which would put the new version into calendar 2014 thereby missing the Holiday season.
