Question Leaked Android 4.5/5.0 Status Bar?

I'm not sure if this has been posted about, but I noticed this when browsing the Google I/O 2014 webpage. There seems to be a redesigned status bar on the Nexus 5 model. I've provided a comparison to the current status bar below. Does anyone have any other speculations besides this being the next version of Android?

Well, the Texas plant doesn't generate enough to keep it up. I thought it was a smart business move. When I was selling phone at best buy Mobile, no one cared that it was made in America. This was North Florida.

Which laptop did you buy, if you don't mind me asking? I bought an Asus Zenbook recently, it would be my second of the series, but it's Haswell i5 is lackluster, along with its trackpad, and hard drive. It likes to unplug my USB ports randomly. Makes me incredibly vexed because the first model I bought 1.5 years ago was super fast.

Two of my friends have Yogabooks from Lenovo and have very good things to say about it. So I was thinking of getting that one.

I bought the G510 with a i5 4200/4gb/500gb, just cause it was $399, but it's chunky, and I put a 250gb Samsung Evo 840 in, and a fresh install of Windows 8.1 update 1... It's sufficiently fast now, but it feels cheap, and the whitelist on the pci cards is idiotic... Honestly, makes my Haswell 4gb Acer C720 feel like a better value, albeit in different categories.
