Sounds encouraging. Looking forward to the meat.

We've been watching it since H1 2009.

I think the best thing I can do is to pretend that this "blog" never happened and to wait for the actual information. After all, I have 18 days left on this, my last account. That's plenty of time for some actual information to appear.
No need to advise poor Zulu, who has quite clearly had a gun to his head when he wrote this blog, to kill himself.
Plenty of time to run the real blog past the CSM.

It's been 2 weeks, CCP Zulu.
If we have to "watch this space" much longer, there'll be nothing to watch but space.
It might be that you don't have as much time as you think you have; just to hammer the point home: the unsub rate is non-linear. The players are the major source of game content. Every person that unsubs (or just stops logging in) makes it x% more likely that all his n subbed friends will do the same, and y% more likely that his m unsubbed friends won't come back.
For someone like a :foreveralone: empire missionrunner, that xn.ym value is pretty tiny. For someone like the main FC of a large alliance, or Chribba, or Estel Arador, that xn.ym value will be hundreds or even thousands of times higher. In a situation like that you don't have to be a mathematical genius to realise that this means there's an unstable, unpredictable tipping point after which EVE will failcascade no matter what CCP do.
I don't pretend to know where the tipping point is exactly, but given that so many of the most visible players in EVE, the content creators, the motivators, the ones who have the largest values of xn.ym are either unsubbed, in skill maintenance mode, so just spinning their wheels in game... yeah.
Deliver. Quickly.
