Seems Shimano will be offering a 50/39 ring combo for the double (in addition to the 52/39)
The triple gets "upgraded" to a more sensible 52/39/30 spec also.
My only comment is that if Shimano is going to come out with a 50T double might as well make the small ring a 36T or 34T too.
50T with a 39T only gets you more overlap with a 10s cassette.
(better off with a 13T cassette and a 53/39)

Yeah, I don't know what's up with the idea to have a 50/39 either. Switching to a diff cassette is a better idea.
Seems like a good group though, sounds like they made improvemnets everywhere. Just wonder how much it be?
