No, but Otherside is pretty damn close, and even they don't want to try and acquire the IP.

3. Otherside Entertainment is planning to make a spiritual successor to Thief, but even they don't plan to try to acquire the license, because of the costs and the legal headaches involved. If an active development studio is taking that position, we don't stand a chance.
Is there any official (or semi-official) word on this? It would be great news though, with Warren Spector in the mix and all.

As far as I know, there are currently no concrete plans for a spiritual successor, but there have been mentions of/hints at all kinds of
possibilities, including resurrecting Deep Cover or doing a game like it.

Right, there's been nothing official but plenty of mentions of it by Stellmach and others.

This is right up there with the bow upgrade in the Alarus extension

I would wait till SS3 is done then I guess we will know.

That's what I would expect, yeah.

It's pretty hard to take any thread beginning with "OMG !" seriously. This one is no different.

I agree, and it's also an attempt to force attention from people.
When we have the tools to make unlimited numbers of fan missions and they're all done for free, why would anyone buy the rights to do the same thing. I'm pretty sure the original developers don't want to bury themselves in a repeat of an older gake. Game publishers are looking for new fresh ideas instead of making sequels unless it's of a majorly successful game like Tomb Raider.
