They’ve done controlled leaks before and it may become even more common post Jobs.
[Herb Sevush] “And no hint about a new Mac Pro. Can we say R.I P.?”
It’s been clear for some time. Given they haven’t pulled the 2010 MacPro there may be a replacement. It won’t be a MacPro though. Don’t confuse MacPro with Xeon based systems. There may be another something to replace it. There might be a clue at WWDC in June which is when the MBPs are coming.

Mac Pro = large Ram (32-64 GB)
PCIe 16 Lane slots
Multiple / Selectable / Powerful GPU and CPU configurations.Doesn’t matter what it looks like or how they get there, if it can do the work I will consider it a Mac Pro.

What you want pretty much matches what I hope for as well. -

May 15, 2012 at 2:52 amIs there any mention in this last round of MBP rumors, whether they will offer traditional drives, or will it be SSD only?

May 15, 2012 at 4:52 amCraig sorry for the almost duplicate post I made announcing NVIDIA returning to the MacBook Pro. Your source indicates it is possible. The sources in my post indicated it’s going to happen. Still I wouldn’t have posted if I had read all of your post first!

May 15, 2012 at 1:00 pmThe rumour is at least SSD to assist with booting the computer. Perhaps in the high-e d configuration, the only drive(s) will be SSD and another option would be the hybrid boot assist plus a larger hard disk drive. Removing the optical drive gives them room to add something. I’m very curious if they will abandon their hard-wired graphics daughter card for a removable plug-in card in the MacBook Pro and the iMac Pro.
