Perhaps. But were that the case, one would think they'd be quite eager to say so.

Maybe they will!

Are you expecting them to live-tweet their work or something?

jared was OK making this rewrite as an experiment branch in the public

Based on the way they live-tweeted (as it were) their rewrite and their other publicity stunts? Yes, actually.
