Also releasing a patch on that week would also be in bad form, but it'll affect far less people as only a handful of people such as myself have beta access to begin with. I imagine WotC would actually encourage that kind of thing to kneecap Pathfinder hype, but given that we've had zero word on the patch in general, it's unlikely to be anytime within the next two weeks.

My bet is that if a patch is happening anytime soon, it's either going to be in mid-May or mid-June.

Patching or Updates to hurt competition is pretty normal behavior. Blizzard has strangled many a game release this way.
