Default Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: change in business model?

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society has charged authors
nothing; costs are covered (and more, as the commercial publisher makes
a profit and also other RAS activities are subsidized) by subscriptions.

There is a rumour that this will change soon. Has anyone here heard
anything similar? If so, is there some sort of source one can check
with, as opposed to just another rumour report?

[[Mod. note -- A related note -- MNRAS has also discontinued their print
edition -- they now publish only an online edition. But their subscription
prices for libraries remain very high ( US$10K/year). See
