That's really interesting news. I recall when the Rambouillet came out, it seemed so dramatic to have the clearances that it did. From there, the evolution of interest in 650B/584 pushed the development of large volume 700C/622 tires, which, in turn gave us the Hilsen. (And from the Hilsen, we now have the Hillborne, et. al.)
Once the limit stake got driven into the ground with the big clearance frame with large volume tires, it seems like it let them refine the lineup in the opposite direction. The idea of a new design, with all that GP has learned in the ensuing years, will be very exciting to see. Anyone who has followed this or the iBob list has heard the lamenting at the "loss" of the Rambouillet. Based on what folks wished for, it seems like the .... (new design)... will bring all that and a bag of chips.
