What happens is this, as a rule. Greg leaks this sort of thing to assorted prospective authors, experts, and assorted other groupies, swearing them all to total secrecy, naturally. Then Greg does to a convention, and gets a drink or two in him... ;-) I think this was mentioned at Tentacles, last year? I honestly can't recall if I already knew at the time, since to be honest, I had had a drink or so myself...

I don't think this is even Crypto-Official. It's more like, something that been hinted at by Greg, expounded upon by Nick et al, as the 'alternate take' to the conclusion that KoS is simply The End of Them. I think everyone agrees that the Lunars _as we know them_ aren't in such great shape, rather some outcome which can be construed as 'achieving a lunar cosmos' happens. Allegedly.

Absolutely. There's the seed of a Lunar/Mostali/Kralori light-bulb joke, there.
Cheers,
