The rushed answer is always:
We are currently examining the possibilities. Many of these issues will be addressed in the upcoming Combat Rebalance. Until then, no new Commando changes are being considered at this time to avoid possible CB conflicts.

Are you sure you want the rushed answer?
I'm hoping to get a bit more out of him then the above...can't guarentee it, but we can always hope...

Not sure...I'm hoping they'll start to trickle out soon, but to be honest, the only people who I've seen promise that docs would be out early this week have been other Correspondents...The Devs haven't confirmed a date yet, but did say they hoped to see it this week...
As far as I can tell, our "polishing" is going very well...I got all my questions asked and answered currently...I was even able to get a couple of more things slipped into the revamp that weren't orginally planned since we got back from the Summit...
I'm already starting on my own "Commando Take on the Combat Revamp" to compliment the Dev Docs and focus on how it impacts our Profession specifically (although it might not come out the same time as the doc release depending on when they start releasing them)...
A couple of things to remember:
1) They may not release all the docs at one, but instead post them slowly to allow Q&A and absorption time...this will allow folks to fully understand one doc before moving on to the next (to prevent information overload that could sink the ship)...
2) When the devs post the "profession specifics" docs some profession may seem like they are getting beef'd up heavily while others may seem like they are getting a bad NERF...The trick will be looking at all of it from a wider standpoint...remember that nobody just takes one profession and stops there...most people use up all their skill points (or as much as possible) and if they don't, well that's just plain silly....The trick of the new revamp, when it comes to professions, is analyzing what hole is still missing in your profession and thenfilling it via dabbling...That was sort of the originally purpose of dabbling, but the new system effectively enhances this idea...DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING and DON'T JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS before digesting everything...
My biggest worry about the revamp docs is a minority of people will jump on one point or another and create a huge negative vibe that could cause things to crash....These are the people who hate change and like the way they exist now...If they come here flaming the Revamp, leave them be...I know we'll be neck deep in critically analyzing the revamp's pros and cons and mapping out our new Commando Agenda...
Besides, I think we'll honestly be to happy (especailly when we see the profession specifics) to even think of giving into ranters from other communities...
When I say that not everyone will be happy, it's not because I think there are one or two professions getting the shaft...not at all...I think EVERY combat profession is getting something very good...but like with anything in this game, there are always haters...there are always those who just love to start rants and flames...feel free to be anti-anything you don't agree with or dislike, but be careful not to be taken in by someone elses rants so much so that you miss the real purpose behind the change...ask questions...I feel I have a pretty good grasp on just about all the elements of the revamp...and trust me, between me and the other correspondents, we've pretty much torn this thing apart and brought up every possible negative to every profession...many of the rants and flames that will pop up in the live forums have already been brought up and addressed in the Correspondent forum...
Lastly, I want to ask a HUGE favor...If possible, keep all of you "profession" specific questions to those profession forums...I know I don't have to say this, but don't go bragging about what Commandos are getting in another forum...or if you havea TKA related issue, give the TKA Correspondent a chance to respond in his own forum...and if you do go to other communities to post, please be respectful...when the docs go up there will be many who will be overly sensitive while things sink in...I bring this up because for many of us, with this revamp, we will actually consider taking our dabbling paths in different directions then we have in the past...things you never thought you'd add to your Commando template may all of the sudden look inviting...while for others, their current template will be perfect for them...
A lot is changing...and we have a lot to be excited about...

Unfortunately Waste93 didn't make it onboard in time to go to the Summit...but trust me, he's asking all the right questions and representing the Rifleman Profession VERY well over in the Correspondent Forum regarding these docs...
