Yes, they do answer the question though they do not give an exact statement. Many MANY times have people asked this question and simply we the community can not answer. So get in line and wait. They will get to it at some point soon hopefully.

Please do not post questions asking when is release if no one knows. The forums are for talking about new mechanics and also about the game itself. It is not there to ask when will the game be released that is left to an interview or a announcement directly from MHS.
