Possibly a heavy lift booster at some future point.
But ISS will be manned till 2020 instead of 2015.

Have we got any official confirmation for this? *For all we know, the
"LA Times" just interviewed a couple of janitors and called them
"anonymous".

Incidentally, since at least half the people on this newsgroup hated
the Constellation program in the first place...shouldn't we consider
this a good thing?

It's on NY Times too, and NY Times said it came from an
administration official. And it will be officially released next
Monday. I don't think it's junk news since it's pretty standard for
new policies to be intentionally released to the news media if only to
gauge public and congressional reaction.
