Will Google Release Penguin 4.0 In January 2016? Gary Hasn't Seen It Yet.

We know Google delayed the Penguin 4.0 release and we expected based on comments from John Mueller that it would be released this month but my question is, will it.

So I asked Gary Illyes from Google if he thinks the shake up will be big when it is released and Gary said on Twitter that he is unsure because he hasn't even seen the experimental results yet.

@rustybrick i haven't seen the experiment results yet, i could only speculate. which i won't @DonnieStrompf

Marie Haynes revealed the obvious thought on that tweet by saying, if Gary hasn't seen it yet, maybe it isn't that close to being released:

Hmmmm. If Gary hasn't seen any Penguin prelim testing results I fear it could be a while longer yet. https://t.co/jSD9mZUAHb

But as Gary explained before and once again, he is not part of the team actively working on Penguin, he is just the messenger of the news:

@rustybrick penguin is not my baby, I'm just your messenger, but the team is very open to feedback. Yes I'll see it before @DonnieStrompf

So even if Gary hasn't play with it yet, it still can be released this month.

Plus, it is encouraging that there are experiments as this guy says on twitter:

@rustybrick @Marie_Haynes @methode It's encouraging that real time Penguin has been tested and there are some results to look at :)
