Conclusion: Nothing's changed. For my part, Shanavas' article has little or no impact on the narrations about Aisha's (r) age at the time of her marriage as found in Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmidhi, ibn Majah, an-Nasa'i, Musnad Ahmed, Mu'jam al-Kabir, Tabaqat ibn Sa'd and other hadith works. Of course, if, like Shanavas, people are hell bent on misquoting the sources, then one can practically make the texts say whatever one wants.
And Allah knows best.
