I agree, it would be great to hear about a timeline or something, even if its somewhat subject to change, it'd give me an idea if i should go from futzing around with prototypes and tests to building out my full game or wait a little longer.
I suppose knowing some of the features would help as well, so i know whether its worth it to wait. I've seen glimpses of stuff on that unity thread, but I still don't fully understand the benefits or scope of the changes.
