I posed the question at the end of 2009/beginning of 2010.

As of several weeks ago, however, Martin has reportedly completed 1400 manuscript pages, and his publishers are reportedly very reluctant to publish anything over 1500. Although I've admittedly been overly optimistic on this front in the past, it seems to me that we should be fairly close to a big announcement, absent a decision to rewrite half the book or some such.

Is anyone willing to change their original prediction for completion in 2010?
