Valve have confirmed that the Heavy class will receive the next update pack in Team Fortress 2. This confirmation comes from the official TF2 blog (now with added RSS) which Valve are going to use to open up the development process of these updates.
In the heavy update they go into what issues need to be addressed and how the game should be balanced. The feed is definately worth subscribing to if you like to keep track of the inner workings of the mothership.
