Hadn't seen Virrago around today.
Oh, actually, Virrago did post in the Website Roundtable today. I'm beginning to think that the Producer's Letter may accompany it tomorrow, as Starschwar said in Gen. discussion.
No! An invisible wall marring my smooth and lovely blue navmesh!

Yes, yes I did 
You know I still cant help but wonder if adding a new district is an impossibility after all. isn't the game mechanics for the constructs the same as the game?
Maybe start with a few buildings first and see where that goes...
At any rate I hope Rare can answer if it is possible to add a district or at the very list , redsign a few buildings or add some.

I think what Rarebit is going for with Datamine is right on. A Construct allows it to be a new area, without having to have all the content of a new district at once. It also allows the potential for content in this area to be unique, or at least of varying degrees than that of a district. This way, they can add content in phases (that's what it looks like) while allowing us to experience it without waiting for everything to be put in.

- Individual neighborhoods
- Hardlines
- Access Nodes (unless it was unrestricted)
- Exile Gangs (w/ descriptions and backstory)
- Exile Hideouts with new balanced loot (and we all know how long balancing takes in this game >_> )
- Neighborhood collectors with new balanced loot (see above)
- Mission Contacts with five missions each
