I think the average age in this room is 50+. Although there are exceptions, generally, old people get easily susceptible, rancorous, and stubborn...

If the 17" is to come back, I want that to be the mobile version of the Mac Pro rather than a glorified, oversized version of the 15". There's no reason why a 17" can't be designed to accommodate up to 32GB RAM and mobile Quadro/FireGL GPUs, while the battery doesn't have to last as long as the 13"/15". Apple could even make it cost a lot of money for being one of the very few 16:10-based 17" workstation notebooks in the market.
Chances of the 17" ever coming back, however, are next to nil.

Not to spoil the thunder, but that's just a rumor and speculation on the part of the author of that article. It doesn't say or add anything more to what's already been speculated on in this thread and others.
I could add that I wouldn't get my hopes up too much if I were you, but if your all-caps excitement is any indicator, I'd probably be a bit late in that regard.
