Strictly a few observations: The image linked to above appears to be the Poser 5 walk designer modified in appearance only -- meaning that the P5 motions are unseen. IF so, it also indicates that the P6 figures will use a similar leg, hip, and arm rigging to the P5 figures. As to the supporting DAZ figures, it is the responsibility of a content creator -- any content creator -- to make their products work with Poser if that is what they intend those products to be used with. This applies to everyone. Be it the walk designer, face room, cloth room, hair room, lights, whatever. The fact that the most popular figures for Poser are made by a thrid party and are not fully compatible with it (figure heights, face room, walk designer) is not the fault of the company providing the program, but of the makers of those figures, who did not feel that the functionality was all that critical. Part of the reason for their not being interested in doing so, if I remember correctly, is that their rigging for those figures was more advance than the one the walk designer was built around in order to provide a smoother bend in the leg area -- which, at the time, was an acceptable trade off in the view of most, since the figures were much better looking than the default ones. Speed can be controlled by using low values in the walk motion and extended frame count.
