The odds that this will be some sort of an exception seem pretty low.
I think a huge part here is that the primary decision was to remove Tom King from Batman, not that he should be replaced by someone else. It shows in that the press release from DC talks about what King will do next, but very little about what will happen with the Batman title.

DC can certainly manage to find a new writer (or writers), but the drama around King's run sure doesn't give the image of a nice place to work.
