Doesn't matter if it is signed (I noticed that, BTW). April 1st is all
about looking as legit as possible and pulling "the big one". The team
will still have to re-announce tomorrow. Releasing legitimate news of a
product on April 1 (or any holiday for that matter) is a
marketing/advertising snafu of gigantic proportions. The entire week
that follows a legit April 1 announcement is wasted cleaning up the mess
created in its wake. Waiting 24 hours to make such a big release and
announcement probably wouldn't kill the team. I wouldn't believe a
0.9.9 release today either, but it would have been less of a stretch of
the imagination.
