user102: This may be a bit of a delayed question - it's been a very busy couple of months - but this has nagged at me for a while.
This particular question was officially unanswerable until about a week later.
My deleted answer actually identifies what the case likely was.  I say "likely" because at the time, there wasn't enough information to go on.
I personally don't feel like it's fair that this sort of question got a sort of blind pass by the community.  It may be the case that this sort of question falls underneath the future events umbrella, but I'd like to make sure.
The main reason I'm bringing this up is that I recall a moderator making a comment along the lines of adding an "authoritative" answer here, but the real issue was that there wasn't an authoritative answer at that moment in time.

user63: The future events rule is only intended to be a applied to the production and release of on-topic media. In-universe questions about ongoing developments in plot and characters are always welcome even if there are no canonical answers.
As ongoing plot developments will always be a source of discussion amongst fans, so there's no reason to refuse a question or answer (if there are sufficient facts to back them up.)
For answers that cannot be answered, just leave a comment stating so. Until a series or arc ends, or supplemental materials are released, there's no way to give a definitive answer unless it's revealed in the narrative or by the author directly. Answer blindly mentioning "oh we don't know yet" won't help anyone look for answer and since there's no guarantee that the answerer will come back and edit the answer when it's revealed, it's really not a help to anyone. It's better to give an answer that answers the question, that says "we don't know, maybe you should check back later."
When it comes to the inner details and workings behind a production, few are privy to the details. From time to time some of these details get leaked to the public, but without any facts or evidence to back them up, they will remain as rumors. So unless we develop and inside source or precognitive powers questions about future events and release related to anime and manga will be beyond what we can do.
