Ah, but they never said they would implement rolling for stats. They just said they were perfectly aware that many players want to roll for stats. For what it's worth, they thought "but we don't particulalry care about rolling for stat and, anyway, it's not happening", they just didn't say it.

It's like when they said there would be a time for a Q&A. They never said they would do a Q&A. They just said that there would be a time for a Q&A. Maybe that time is next Tuesday. At that time, it will be the perfect time for a Q&A : before that would be too early, after would be too late. But there is not guarantee that this Q&A will materialise. There's still a bit of time before release for this to happen, but I'm personally not keeping my hopes too high for this.
