Well, looks like the 1.7 Re planet has been mentioned in a CoRoT press release article from May:



Since the CoRoT team seems to follow closely ESA's PR tradition, don't expect to hear about it anytime soon.
Has the CoRoT team ever announced a planet without RV confirmation? My impression was that they had originally planned to but probably ran into too many false positives. OTOH it's very, very strange to mention something like this in a press release then never follow up.
