Well they've updated the blog, with a slightly disappointing but funny post.

I think we're in for quite a wait.

Well at least they've pretty much revealed who's getting updated next.

Yup .

People on the Steam forums are looking into it too much already. Saying things like: The front zombie looks like he's about to backstab (if he had a knife), 'coming down the pipe' sounds like a Demoman reference. Etc etc etc.

As far as i'm concerned the 'Gentlemen,' was the only hint. If even it was a hint.

I'm guessing the next class update is going to be Either The Spy or Demoman, But I think the spy has more of a chance.

And also, along with the class update, I am also predicting that they are going to release a map with the same alpine style of Lumberyard.

I think the best way to sum up that blog update has been by a guy on the Steam forums

Well, that response tells us two things.

1.  Valve has an excellent sense of humor (I totally LOLed on that last sentence)

2.  Valve actually knows how the community feels about certain game play elements. 

(BTW, I would bet the spy update is next)

Awesome. I wonder what Valve are going to do with the Spy in terms of unlocks

Today while playing dustbowl, I saw someone get an achievement that definitely looked like a spy achievement. I didn't recognize it at all (It was two words, both long words, and im sure it was spy-related), I tried to snap a screenshot but instead got a "killed by" screenie.

The only spy achievement I know is out is the Master of Disguise. But it's not two words.

Yeah...with Left 4 Dead coming out and Valve being a pretty small dev team, I wouldn't expect another update until atleast December.

But Valve has been working on Left For Dead for about a year now, and that hasn't stopped them from updating TF2 regularly. Also most of the work on Left for Dead has been done already, working on balance and debug can be done by a rather small team. Also Valve are working with another team for LFD, so they would definitely have enough people to update TF2.

Yeah, it was that one.

Edit: Didn't realize it was a heavy achievement. Carry on

That's the one. Never heard of it. The hell is it?
A new Heavy-achievement. Kill 10 invisible spies.

Yeah, but now we're getting towards release. They're fixing up bugs, glitches and everything else they possibly can so the game can be as perfect as possible at release.

Once all the hype fades and we're into the month of December, I'd expect a new update...possibly Spy.

ok, i swear the valve team are really taking their time now! There hasn't been an update since the one on 17th September 2008.
I want more news! I am craving an update for TF2!

The first L4D blog basically said that everyone at Valve was working non-stop testing L4D.

So i'm expecting the TF2 updates to take a very long time to happen until L4D is out. But the last TF2 update did say that the TF2 dev guys were finished working on L4D now so I dunno what to think.

I personally think we're in for quite a wait, but Oct 10th is TF2's 1 year anniversary so they might have something planned.

Well the LFD team if different from the TF2 patch team. Rob Walker, the guy who made the first TF Quake mod in '96 certainly is going to be more concerned with TF2 patches than making LFD. Also Steam itself has gotten quite a few fixes in the past days so some Valve people are working on that.

New update.

It basically says "We're gonna be aaaaaaaaaaaaages yet"

And then talks about Spawn times in some detail .

http://www.teamfortress.com/post.php?id=1872

But yeah. Gonna be a long time before we get more unlocks.

This Western-style expression clearly references the Engineer.  Perhaps instead of giving us titles that reflect their next project, they're giving us clues as to what classes they aren't updating next.  If I'm right, it means that the next class update is not Spy, Demoman, nor Engineer.

As I said earlier in the thread.

Without a doubt, L4D will be their focus for the rest of this year.
