Basically, this confirms that they're just getting started and that it'll take a while.
Maybe for Patch 3.2 (at the earliest)?
This basically means the way the class is currently designed makes it very difficult to implement changes to the summoner as it currently stands. I'm not expecting any changes for summoner to happen any time soon. They will be taking a very long look at summoner and reviewing the class if they want it stay the way its currently made. They put so much into it now that its very difficult to make changes without possibly altering the class as a complete whole. The developers have a very hard road ahead of them and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the discussion came up with let's overhaul the class. Best of luck to the devs because this is one class that is not easy to bring to the table and to discuss about that's for sure.
