Which affirms my initial post on why Larian has nothing to gain from speaking further on the issue. As long as they don't confirm anything, some people will cling to hope because they haven't explicitly denied anything.

You're technically right they have not confirmed Reaction system won't change, but you can read between the lines. This PFH Swen said that Larian is nearing the end of making the game into what they want it to be and they're going to move on to polishing everything and getting rid of bugs and making everything pretty.

So, if you're playing a game with Reactions the way they are, and someone says what Swen said or along those lines, do you think the game is going to go under a major transformative overhaul? IMHO, if Reactions were going to change into anything like Solasta, this would have been the patch for that to happen.
Ah, but does that "clinging to hope" lead to even greater disappointment and anger at Larian in the end? ...honestly probably not, at least not significantly.

Also, we don't really know what we can count on being in/out of the game at final release. Swen has said that they're saving stuff so that even us EA players will have a lot of Act 1 surprises. Now, is it likely that they'll change entire systems? Probably not. These "surprises" will likely be mostly new content (companions, areas, quests, cutscenes) as opposed to modified major mechanics. But it's not impossible. The food and resting system in particular is something Larian hasn't touched in a while, so if there's one big mechanic they might change for full release I'm putting my money on that.
