I know 6th edition isn't out yet, but it is a virtual certainty that it will be coming out in the near future. All of the clues point towards a Summer release, with the Autumn of Fliers due after it, which gives a good clue that fliers may be due after it.
Interestingly, it seems that other far more popular blog websites than mine are collecting rumours. It seems the fake 6th ed rules that were found a few months ago may have been a working document. That means it is probable that the new book has at least some of the rules mentioned in it.
What seems to be a certainty is that the psychic phase is to be altered. The reason I say this is because of the change of wording in the Grey Knights book, to having Psychic (1) or (2) which wouldn't be needed if it wasn't changing. Necrons not having psykers being released also makes sense, as they will be easier to write with 6th in mind without having these rules to take into account. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Tau being released before or around the same time as 6th hits, because they too don't have psykers.
There are also rumblings that vehicles will get a kind of wounds system. This could be interesting, as vehicle balance is not great at the moment, hence the huge amounts of mech armies around. It would probably be simpler for everyone if all vehicles were just monstrous creatures but I can't see that happening.
