So I had the 'allow blizzard' pop up just a couple minutes ago, and allowed it. I looked over at my launcher and it had patch notes up, and the very first paragraph (after stating new stuff is in red) had a 'ladders / seasons enabled' title. I of course instantly hit play instead of reading the rest, and just as expected I was told Bnet was down for maintenance. So I went to go read the rest of the notes, and now they aren't there.
Anyways long story short I read that ladders / seasons were on the PTR, but I only got as far as the title before I was stupid and hit play. It could be future patch notes, so I'm only slightly getting my hopes up that it'l be after this maintenance.
If they wipe characters every week or two it makes no sense to play seasons on PTR, if you don't play 24/7 you won't even get to Torment 1 on lvl 70 before the next wipe occurs. I hope once seasons are enabled they let us test the season for a month and just patch the PTR without constantly resetting.
Just to clarify, the current patch is not resetting anything character-related on the PTR. Just leaderboards and "Personal Best" records.

Exactly.
There's a wipe with this patch, but not characters / items / gold.
There's the patch notes I saw!
And atm, these couple class changes definitely do not constitute a patch on PTR, in my opinion. Either there's a ton more that hasn't been datamined yet, which is doubtful.
Those notes you're talking about are the old notes and not updated. That information about the seasons has been in the notes since the PTR went live several weeks ago, but then at the end gave the note that seasons were not yet available, but hopefully, looking at some of the datamined stuff, they will be there in this patch.

They're including the stuff they need in order to turn on seasons, but I personally am a little doubtful it'll be live straight away. Instead, they could be planning to make the first test season sometime this patch, but after they've gotten some feedback and data on the 2H changes, leg gem changes, bug fixes (Mirinae and its 100% proc chance instead of 15%, I'm looking at you), balance changes and other level 70 content updates.
