ROFL Steve! This is a most wonderful list! I think Cheers was already the first to mention "omissions" in the new features list. But if it is to be counted after release, I'd place my bets on Bloodsong. :) ...who stated: i'm just worried about the 'completely NEW interface.' oh, and the new free camera controls. ... And I agree. My worries are there, too. I'm also a wee bit concerned about how the OpenGL will play havoc with resources. However it says there is an option of having the shading in one viewport, any, or none. So it would seem that part will be very customizeable :)
