Per Jackie Wong today (emphasis added):
I knew in general that the expanded range of -5 to +5 was coming to the GOE system.
But am I the last to know about the test at Tallinn Trophy?
ETA (on Nov 8):
As I write this, the ISU is preparing to test out a revamped GOE system at Tallinn Trophy later this season. It uses a wider GOE range of -5 to +5, where each "grade" is tied to a percentage add or drop in the base value, rather than a blanket set of deductions and additions that are given to a vast range of differently-valued elements. The percentage add or drop is still in debate, but it's supposed to be in the range of 10-15% per grade.
So that's to say that if a skater falls on a quad lutz, the element would receive a -5 GOE, which drops the base value of 13.60 to potentially 6.80 (10% of BV per negative GOE) or as low as 3.40 (15% of BV per negative GOE).
Of course, this system of -5 to +5 will still need to rely on judges giving positive GOEs when they are appropriate, not when there's a well-known skater on the ice. But if this GOE system is instituted, it is a huge step in the right direction for the IJS.

Noticed today that Jackie has added the following sentence to his article:
(The test will be behind the scenes with a different panel of judges.)
