Alrighty, then. Some very nice and insightful posts basically laid it out perfectly for me to get it. Being out of the loop for so long and the sheer scope of those update notes makes it kinda hard to keep up with things they are / are not planning to do, so once again, thank you both for the replies.

Gonna get the pickaxe and hammers primed, then, since it sounds like I don't have to worry about 2.0 axing either of them. capitalism, HO!
