The last line of the quote sounds menacing. New partnerships? I really hope that the announcement is going to cause any real drama. But if it does, I suppose it's best to do it now, and work our way out of both controversies.
But I am very very glad to see that the current XO (or even XO1.5) is going to be in production as-is for the next few years. I'm rather fond of my little green machine.
