As often the patches and events are coming (No matter how minor they are), I don't think any huge game mechanic changes will be coming anytime soon. It'll like be introduced at the end of the year and be marked as a 2.0 build, if it even happens.
Coming from the perspective of changing mechanics can introduce more game breaking bugs. Versus simply releasing events and new furniture models. Especially with the the current state of the world and its uncertainty, I can see them pushing this off. I'm hoping I'm wrong.
