Recent data from Chandrayaan 1 and LRO seem to indicate ice sheets at
least 2 meters thick:

Some casual space buffs have conflated this with McCubbins' recent
speculation that the moon may have more water in it's interior:

While your phenomenica link may call McCubbin's theory into question,
it does absolutely nothing to contradict the Chandrayaan-1 and LRO
findings. The water in the very cold polar craters is thought to be
frozen out gasses left over from cometary impacts. Not many (if any)
believe the polar ice is from the moon's interior.
