The patch notes are there to let players know what changes are coming so they can plan their gameplay accordingly, not so that people can theory craft before hand on how things will work before they actually try it.
That alone is enough reason to release the patch notes as soon as they become available. Skill and character planning in Dust is long-term, and suits/etc. can take literally months to max. Alterations to skills, equipment, etc. can radically shift the nature and tenor of a build.
Having the latest facts and information on that is paramount to planning properly (e.g. - if you were planning for a suit build with some sort of hybrid weapon synergy, a change of bonus that removed it from a suit would impact your build).
To put it another way, you've also suggested there will be no more respecs. Fine. However, this does put a finer point on the weightiness of the decisions, and the need to get information on changes as quickly as possible. For my part, I've been saving SP since the last respec... just waiting for suit changes.
Circa 5/21, there was this post from CCP Remnant:

Plus sometimes, we only think were right. But mm. In a lot of cases yeah you could be doing a better job no offence, its your art and I'm telling what ate the weakest parts in my opinion .
Dropsuit balance and bonuses . You should give the basic suits a single bonus btw something the same across race. And they would stack with the nee bonuses and give a reason to bring basic to 5 becuase it would increase the bonus on all suits. Yeah, we're going to be bringing the race bonus down onto the basic suits. It's one of a few adjustments to the dropsuit progression we'll be outlining in the next few days. Some adjustments we'll be making very shortly, but others will be a fair bit later.
So I wait for these suit changes. I haven't spent any SP on suits/weapons since the respec, since I've been told I cannot respec again. I do not know when things will become available, but I know months of SP could go where I don't want it if I don't keep waiting.
That's what getting information about upcoming changes is about: allowing us to plan.
