What's even more exciting to me is what Tom Warren said in this tweet:

So even with the leaks, there looks to be more features for us to find out about.

Actually I don't think that's enough time for Devs to tinker their way with the OS, and there is a small issue of apps not being back compatible, meaning apps on WP8.1 wont work on WP8, so even with the update, we might not get serious stuff to be laid on top of that amazing OS as most of the people wont be able to use it.

I see no reason for holding WP8 support back, since all devices can upgrade to 8.1, at least via Developer Preview, which in my opinion, should be activated on all devices by default.

There's a reason (or two) I think we will get the update sooner than we think.

Application format - The new format is appx, so Microsoft will try to push the update to all the devices in a short period of time so the consumers don't miss out new features (or apps) for months..

Second (For Lumia people) - Nokia will be Microsoft by then, so we will most likely get the update the minute (or in the same day) windows phone 8.1 retail is released. (YAY for Lumia)
