I waded through those threads and I will sum up for you:

The only actual posts from CA reps stated that the patch is being worked on and news of it would be posted in about a week (this was on 24 Nov., or 27 Nov.--I forgot the exact date), and that the issue with Triarii is being addressed. The "issue" appears to be Triarii not being available after the Marian reforms, but I might be misinterpreting this.

There is no concrete information other than that on the threads linked above.
