I'd like to believe that the lack of coverage in major outlets (so far all I'm seeing as far as "mainstream" media goes would be a few local papers in the region) has something to do with this being a largely expected outcome. After all, was there every really any chance that it wouldn't be incorporated?

I'm trying really hard.

Alternately, I was trying to believe that the press is waiting until the decision is final (since there may be some theoretical chance if it being heard en banc).

I can't come up with any other reasons. I mean, ignoring a ruling certainly won't make it go away or anything. And it's not like keeping it on the down low will delay any challenges based on this; it's already all over the kind of outlets that any likely challengers will be familiar with. Including...well, here.
