While I do not know I have been thinking along the same lines as Aaron, if they make any significant changes there is a heap of 
commercial kit that is going to fall over - and there are going to be a heap of upset users complaining about broken commercial 
boxes.   For example the over the air firmware updates are done in blocks of weeks so they are unlikely to happen overnight for all 
commercial users.

So while they might be free to make changes, the chances of these happening very often are in my view remote.
