How much of it is being leaked versus being "leaked"?

I can't wait for I19...I have tons of respecs to do, plus with the new ranged animations, I have some slight character tweaking to do. There have been some characters that haven't felt right lately, but I think shooting sonic beams from my hands or having a fully optic blast type character will help

This and this would presumably be the official statement you're referring to, being Positron's posts saying why they were pulling the alpha slot and saying nothing about what it did?|

Sure sounds like one of those horrid leaks to me! |
The first official post on the topic coming two days after people posted the entire summary of the system on page one of the same thread. No-one knew whether what got pulled into a later release before the beta went open was still covered by the NDA or not. If the NDA had been tighter and effort put in to enforce the restriction via archiving threads concerning the pulled system in the I19 closed beta forum then the details of what the alpha slot can do would not be public.
Knowing that the alpha slot has been delayed and why is a different matter to knowing what it did and (probably) will be once released. It's the difference between being told you can open your presents in the morning and being given a list of all the contents as bedtime reading.
Well, from what they said at the I19 panel, the actual method of crafting enhancmeents for the alpha slot doens't seem to have changed much from the way it was done in the GR closed beta - the big changes seem to be having an arc to unlcok the slot now, and two TFs to use the slot on.

And adding in actual content to go with the Alpha slot.
