Will Wolverine's origin really be told? Somehow, I doubt it

This item on The Pulse tells about yet another miniseries that's supposed to tell the origin of Logan of the X-Men. But in all due honesty, why do I get the feeling that it may still come up short, and only be a lead-in to yet more miniseries of the same? The big cop-out when Marvel first put out a miniseries that purportedly was going to tell Wolverine's origin was that it otherwise ended without giving anything clear, and it turned out to be intended as a launching pad for at least a few more miniseries!
If they're really serious this time about telling Wolverine's origins, then they'll do it all in one stroke, and end it right there and then. Writing miniseries like these as an excuse to get people to spend more and more money without any way to tell if they'll be getting their money's worth is the wrong way to be doing these things, and I wouldn't be surprised if some people have since lost interest in if they'll ever get to know how Logan began his life.
