Buried in a Newsarama interview about Superman: Secret Origin, Geoff Johns remarked that he’d like to do more “Secret Origin” stories…with the Scarlet Speedster his first choice for number 3.
My hope is to continue these, most likely with The Flash: Secret Origin, which would include the beginning of the Rogues as well.
Personally, I’d rather see some genuinely new stories for a while instead of yet another origin retread. The series has been (in my opinion) far too focused on the past for several years now.

Retcon Barry’s childhood, early career, and the nature of the Flashes’ powers. Explain Barry’s bow tie.
(Also: he’s already written origins for at least five of the Rogues — six if you count Trickster II.)
Geoff Johns makes the point that origin stories serve as starting points for new readers, but I think The Flash #1 would also be a good place to start. And while I can’t speak for new readers, this long-time reader would like to see something that he hasn’t already read in half a dozen variations.
