When will the Salt series get screw construction handles like the E4 and D4?

So, will the Salt series get the updated handles like the 4th gen Delica and Endura? If so, when? The riveted construction is holding me back right now.
 
I don't think the Salts will get liners.
It does seem that the Salts will get all screw constuction.
this is from Spyderco forums. See "Sal's casual bombshell thread"

The reason for the change is faster assembly which gives us greater capacity. Riviting pins is time consuming as adjustment is difficult.

Oh, no! This may become a further assault on my wallet! :)
I'd like to also see screw construction, or at least at the pivot area, on the SS Mariner Salt.

I would welcome any screw construction over pinned but I have to say my Yellow Pacific Salt is as trouble free as any knife I have owned. It has been in salt warer, fresh water, against my sweaty body for hours at a time, dropped in dirt, sand, etc and after a good hot bath or just a dunk in fresh, clean water, it still looks and feels like the day I bought it 2 years ago. I just sliced a fresh cucumber and tomoato I got from the local farmer's market this morning at my desk. Feels and look sbrand new right now and she's 2 years old of constant use. The action is still smooth and the blade is dead center! Gotta love it.

The reason this was brought up on Syderco forums, was someone noted that the Matriarch sprint has screw construction.

Yep, went unnoticed for a while, probably because the "front" side looks pretty much the same...

...and nobody was expecting it. It's only when you take a good look at the other side that you notice the screw heads...
