my guesses:
- Satoshi revealed as purely fictional. This was a 20% project from google that management knew was too disruptive to let continue....but devs knew it was too disruptive to not release.
- experiment is now over....thanks everybody....btc are now convertible to Google Play credits...but no longer mine-able.

I have no idea what Gavin is talking about, but why would multi-sig or any other known Bitcoin client improvement proposals qualify as a 'major announcement'? 
Because if a journalist writes "absolutely ordinary announcement" people tend to not pay much attention

Julian Assange will be digitized and smuggled out of the UK in the blockchain?
I wonder if a decentralised proof of work blockchain could be useful in a future with digitized people to keep everything sane... and then the work could be done BY the digitized people... August 16, 2012, 04:56:19 PM

Lots of people are concerned about the Bitcoin price. Almost none are concerned about price stability. I doubt it has anything to do with that.
It's probably multisig. Gavin seems to view multisig as a security feature to protect against hacks. Fewer hacks means less bad press and more consistent growth in adoption.

I doubt that when Gavin speaks of "stability" (if indeed he did say that, journalists paraphrase), he's speaking of the price per BTC. My guess is he's referring to the network, or to the client, or to the user-friendliness or security of Bitcoin in general. In over a year I've never heard Gavin discussing the price of BTC, why would he start now?

Gavin has been working with the CIA to allow them alert access and they will unveil their 100THz ASIC mining operation.
Something like that. I hope y'all have a backup plan when something or something decides to pull the plug. Don't get zhoutonged by the man.

I would bet BTC that it will be regarding multisig.

I heard Gavin is coming out of the closet in September!
Sorry Gavin, could not resist.

It has to b something that has to do with his function as head developer of the Standard Client directly. I doubt that it was something like merchant adoption or regulatory announcements.
Isnt there someone among the readers of this post who is familiar with the development process and/or frequently reading the Development subforum??

The client will be reimplemented from scratch modifying some internal mechanisms

He'll be announcing that his relic collection will be being exhibited at The Guggenheim Museum in New York.

Perhaps adding features that enhance anonymity.
But the article says "should contribute to stability " - does he mean stability of the price? If so, I can't imagine anything he could do to the Bitcoin software that would contribute to price stability. (Short of saying he's going to actively manage the money supply which would never fly.)
But if he's saying it will contribute to the stability of the network or the software - maybe something that will take out the guesswork of transaction fees?

My guesses:
1) Gavin is working for the CIA
2) Gavin is working for Goldman Sachs
3) Satoshi's real name will be revealed on the 11 o'clock news.
