Nate,
I know some other people involved in creating the 4th edition. They said they haven't heard of anything for months, if not close to a year about the release of the new edition.
For better or worse, it's going to be an update and revamp from almost the top down with modern equipment, a revised timeline, etc. Probably not unlike how T2K morphed into T2013: for the best of reasons some of the names and part of the core concept remain but after a point anything distinctive in terms of weapons and gear and the Cold War rationale will be gone.
I realise that many PDs pretty much freehand their games based loosly on the original material, but little of the original game's distinguishing details will remain. Something along the lines of GURPS, where many sourcebooks included detailed alternatives for possible use would be appreciated.
Tony
