I don't know about the rest of you, but I prefer getting either solid, won't-get-changed news with releasedates or getting surprised with "oh, and we're releasing this on tuesday, happy playing"-updates. Why? Because if I know something is coming, I can mark the date in my calendar and look forward to it. I can choose whether I want to avoid spoilers/speculation or not. Or I can get a nice surprise and know that I only have to wait a little while.
What I don't like is when leaks like this happen, because who knows what might get changed during the development process? And who knows what might get changed BECAUSE of the leak and reactions to it? Feedback on things that are still not set in stone shouldn't come from the gamer community, because we don't have the whole picture, and we don't know what the delevopers inted to create. I've already seen people saying this game will be crap, despite not knowing more than a few tiny work-in-progress tidbits completely detached from the whole picture.
But worst of all is when we get told that something will or might happen and then it doesn't. I still ache about Exalted March. It'd have been better never to know about it. I know they ment well when they teased us about us with the t-shirts and that they really thought the expansion would happen, but I kept playing my games as if there would be a continuation somewhere down the road, and when that didn't happen, my playthroughs never became completed emotionally.
So I'd rather they didn't hint or tease about things that aren't more or less set in stone. Accepting feedback based on ideas or early concepts are ok though, since we'd be aware that it was just an early concept subject to change.
Most of all though, I think that people who come across leaks or rumours like this shouldn't spread them. It'll come to no good, it won't help anyone, developer or gamer, and it'll only make the rumour mill spin faster and out of control.
