Blizzard says World of Warcraft patch 2.4 soon, Season 4 much later

[Spitfire]

Quite a number of players can't wait for Blizzard to release Patch 2.4 for World of Warcraft. Why wouldn't they, considering all the classes will be getting a number of buffs. Community Manager Eyonix said that the patch will be coming soon at least when compared to the arrival of Season 4.

Eyonix let this little fact slip when he was discussing how long it would take for them to implement Season 4. When comparing both updates, he said, "Some perspective... Patch 2.4 = Soon, Season 4 = Not Soon."

While this isn't really a definitive date on the patch's release, we have to remember that the update has already started downloading in the background. Could it be possible that we will be seeing the update before this week ends?
