There has never been an official yes really, and there's so much red tape that it isn't really easy to say.
Your best bet--when you can go in a record store and buy a Features CD with "Universal" on it, that's when we'll all know for sure. Until then, I think we're going to have doubt.
Right now, excitement has helped the rumor push itself into "fact" status, perhaps prematurely.
I can't grow a beard, and I don't like to party.
