In Yoshi-P and the team's defense, they've learned since 2.0 not to say anything that isn't set in stone because the playerbase takes whatever they said and either treats it like dogma and backlashes when it either doesn't happen or happen in the way they wanted or criticizes the hell out of it before anything is finalized (not to say it isn't warranted/needed at times).
IF they are planning major healer changes, they're going to keep quiet so they don't see any backlash.
