Just emailed them to ask about whether it might be so that's great news.
Hopefully Ross' info is the full picture. Just thought I'd post the reply I got to my email which suggests they are considering it but might not yet be committed. When it next gets released, make sure you buy up big.

Subject: Question From Wyeast Labs website for I have general question
QUESTION:
Just wondering if there is ever any intention to make WY 1469 a general release rather than a PC.
While it may not be a large number in terms of your overall customer base, I do know a lot of homebrewers who love the yeast and hang onto slants, top crop and/or reproduce in other ways because it's so hard to get hold of.
Thanks
Andrew

Andrew,
Thanks for the e-mail. We are looking at that possibility. 1469 will be in our 4th quarter PC line-up, and
if sales there are good, we may consider bringing it into our year-round catalog.
