>From plain list: - if removing old plugins means getting a new system that works soon, OK. Nodes is half there, but some of the included ones are lacking, and proper plugability is missing. I guess that having both methods means none gets finished (I had the issues with bricks node recently, 2.5D and only grounds!?). - edge render... merge the freestyle project? >From controversial list: - how would one make something disappear for typical cases of item swapping (pick thing, make thing explode, etc)? Layers work both for rendering and 3D view. - what replaces dupliframes as modelling tool? When I tried with modifiers, no idea if the tutorials were too simple or the mod was not to the same level of completeness, so I went back to known method. - env map texture is a quick way to have some effects (not everything is about mirrors, so not everything needs raytracing) or even create env maps for other applications. - shadow render pass should stay, it helps with postpro tweaks. On the rest, no many comments. There are things that just had to be done long ago, like relative paths, and others make no sense at all now, like keeping pinning when there is nothing to pin. There will probably people that use the rest constantly, so they are better for talking about them.
