Well teh devs are always willing to reconsider...they did reverse the backpack on vendors nerf...
they reversed this one back in november and here it is again. I'm not convinced the vendor nerf(s) are completely off the table rather than just delayed. They reversed the decision for the 150 item per vendor limit too but that too will reappear I fear.

The promised to post a logical explaination of the changes on Wednesday, so just look for a dev post with no content... that would be it

Is it asking so much as to just keep us UP TO DATE regarding the status, or as you put it Th, the ETA of the letter? Are we asking THAT much?

Far more likely it is all glossed over and not defined clearly even after the patch =)

After I read that TH had said that the crafting update would be on Friday I had to go find his post. It just cracks me up

Just a short announcement.
With regards to the crafting experimentation post, things are in the works. Its an important issue and being thought through very carefully. Currently, it looks like we'll be posting this sometime Fridaymorning (3/12).
Thanks very much for your patience.

They've got half an hour before this turns into yet another broken promise. But are we really surprised?

Not what we are looking for, but there is a post on Ahazi where Garva hints why some of the crafting changes are being made. Here is the post:
http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=Ahazi&message.id=199629
And here is one of his responses
Just a fyi, your assumptions about less post on the galaxy and trade forums is wrong, (since I have the metrics) there were 38,924 post yesterday, a month ago today there were 37,502 and 4 months ago 27,812definitely not slowing down.
Just to clarify though, a lot of your reply is based on the fact that players rip through content too fast... well thats what happens when someone with 0040 brawler, can get 80% composite, 2k or so in doc buffs, drinks and buffs to enhance mind, and weapons that are super powerful, can take out most things with 15k or so ham easily. Which is why the devs are doing the balancing that everyone sees in the "short" term as a huge nerf, but in reality its a good move for the longevity of the game. At least thats how I see it, since the above is my swordsman character.

Like I said, nothing official but it is a start for why they are doing what they are. Not that I agree with it but oh well...
