Google Again Says Penguin Will Be Rolling Out But Won't Say When

Google Penguin

Yesterday morning, in a Google Hangout on Google+, John Mueller again addressed a question about if/when will Google roll out Penguin 4.0. As you know, the last time he answered he kind of answered it in a weird way.

So the question asked at the 39:14 mark into the video this time was more specific.

Can you guys please confirm whether you will be rolling out the Penguin update or not. In a Yes or No answer please.

John responded, "yes, we will be rolling it out."

"I guess that is good," John added when no one responded to that answer after he said it.

He then added, "I don't have any date or time frame on that so that's still kind of not a perfect answer for you all but I know we are definitely working on it." He then was about to say more and said "so, I don't want to jinx it, so I won't say anything."

What was that last line about? Was he about to say it will roll out really soon? He did seem excited.

Watch the video, here it is embedded for you at the proper start time:
