What does the future of Standard set rotation look like?

Until the release of the set following Ixalan, the collections in Standard will be: Origins, Kaladesh, Aether Revolt, Amonkhet, Hour of Devastation, and Ixalan.

“Until the release of the set following Ixalan” is curious wording, when the name of the next paper set has been known for months. It would also be odd to rotate standard between Ixilan and Rivals of Ixilan, when they’e part of the same block. I wonder if they’e planning to skip Rivals to get caught up with the paper release schedule?

I think they mean the block after Ixalan, which has not been released yet (as far as I know). That would make the most sense

Perhaps they mean that KLD will rotate out when Rivals of Ixtlan drops, leaving Aether Revolt until the following set is released.

I think rotating out KLD without AER would be pretty awkward given this was the last of the combined pack blocks. I expect they both rotate out with Domineria.
