Confused on lack of information

I must admit, given the great number of similar aircraft in service, why we haven't heard anything remotely useful for so many months related to this crash?

I realize there is a sensitivity for the Egyptians and the idea that this was terrorism related, but if it wasn't, and it was a technical malfunction of some kind, wouldn't knowing what that issue was be rather helpful for all other A320 operators?

Given the wall of silence, I was trending towards an assumption that is was terrorism, and the Egyptians were hoping we might all forget about it, but now I see some reporting suggesting explosive residue and other rejecting this.

So, back to a state of confusion.
