Surely it's not a coincidence that this update arrives on the last day of the transfer window.

Shock news: DBOBE transfers to CIG with a contolling interest!

Is there going to be on speculation thread on what we can expect from the dev blog?

Calling it now in update 7 we'll get to sit in chairs at the bar.

There will be over 100 bug fixes concerning issues you've never had a problem with, a bug fix for two or three minor issues you've encountered from time to time, some performance enhancements that will give a few people 4 or 5 extra fps but make the game perform worse for others and have no perceptable affect for you whatsoever, and the colour of various concourses will change in ways so subtle that you'll only notice in it a direct side-by-side comparison. Oh, and the game will no longer hang on exit (except it still will for you).

Seems a reasonable assessment.

When they showed a screenshot of update 7 on a stream somewhat recently claiming that "this is the new colour of high-tech concourses" - the colours were exactly the same as currently, just fewer plants (which we definitely do not want #SaveTheBarkMounds).
