Raymond Arroyo on CNN just said no one was expecting this resignation. NBC reported that the last pope to resign was in the year 1415.
There have been 'rumblings' in the media for a couple of weeks about 'can a Pope resign', etc.
I have a feeling that this has been in the works a while (days, weeks, maybe) and some 'rumors' leaked.

It was just yesterday I was in a bookstore looking at a book about the life of Celestine V, the last pope to voluntarily resign.
