Not that I have seen. But I expect that there will be a number of patches to fix up bugs in Gold and continuing to add minor changes.
After they get everything working, or as working as it's going to get, I expect the patches will peter out and MM will move onto new products.
This is what happened back in SE3 days. Sooner or later the time comes to close it out and move on.
