Magic.
Actually, I'm really not sure. We've got rumors about like, 12 different armies (not really that many) that are supposed to get updated by next summer, and while I believe that GW's definitely picking up the pace, I don't think they're picking it up that much. And frankly, I've heard almost nothing solid about Tau, compared to much more substantial rumors about other armies.
We'll see what happens, either way.
I am the Hammer. I am the right hand of my Emperor. I am the tip of His spear, I am the gauntlet about His fist. I am the woes of daemonkind. I am the Hammer.
Currently churning in the rumor mill:
Dark Eldar
Necrons
Sisters of Battle
Daemonhunters
Eldar
Tau
The mysterious "fleet-based marines"
It's definitely a crowded field.
Plus S***ts are making a comeback this year...I may have made that up. But it would be nice to see them again, maybe assimilated into the Tau Empire.
Demiurg in the tau empire would make sense, theres still a market for space dwarfs and I bet alot of veterans would spend money on them, but there may not be enough of a market for them to have a full codex/race for many reasons, so I agree it makes perfect sense for them to be put into the Tau empire. I'm sure we'll see some new xeno allies, though - whenever Tau get an update...
