Whenever I see a singlespeed with a 1010 style dropout, I see a conversion. I don't know if I would want my $1200 singlespeed frameset to look like a conversion. Maybe I shouldn't care so much about what people think.
Anyway, there's probably zero chance that there's a new dropout in the works, and in my opinion the regular Quickeam dropout is awesome.
