I'm saying that there is no reason for to be as noteworthy as it is right now. As Bezos himself says,

“this is early, this is still years away.”[1]

Yes, 30 minute drone delivery would be big news. That Amazon is in the very early stages of an R&D project to look at the feasibility of it is not. In any case, I am staking an early bet that you'll have your Amazon products delivered by a self driving van before you'll have a drone do it - especially if you live anywhere outside of a major metropolitan area.
