No implication, this was confirmation. Jon Snow is the child of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. As Ned once said, "you may not have my name, but you have my blood" so he does have Ned Stark's blood, since he and his sister would have the same blood. The Faith Militant are the ones who carve their heads and Loras got it as punishment. Goodbye Pycelle, Lancel, Kevan, Mace, Margaery, Loras, the High Sparrow, Tommen and good ol Walder Frey. Technically this would be Six Rulers, Jon, Dany, Euron, Night King, Cersei and Yara, who's alliance with Dany is predicated on the Iron Islands retaining independence. Royal bodies are interred in the Sept of Balor, so Cersei also just torched Joffrey, Myrcella, Tywin and Robert. One could assume Jaime is none too enthusiastic about it, considering the whole reason he killed the Mad King was to stop him from blowing up the city with Wildfire. you actually already saw a white raven in the first episode of Season 2 at the start of autumn, the Citadel sends them out to signify the changing of the seasons.
