"Abolish physical levels and experience points and shift character development to class rank "

So from the letter from the producer and the in development thread it seems as if it has already been decided to forgo physical levels altogether? It seems like it, but can we get a confirmation as it is going to happen or if it still being considered?

I know the majority (over half) of people that responded to the poll wouldn't mind leaving physical levels behind. I for one would like to see them gone and just have your normal class levels.
