No, the same rules will apply to Drawable in that their DataVariance is used by the draw dispatch when multi-threading. The usage of DataVariance on other Node's won't change either, it'll still be their as hint to scene graph processing such as osgUtil::Optimizer. My hope with these changes is that the majority of existing application will just work with no code changes, how close I can get to this I don't know yet. I have already checked in one related change that was a little less controversial - that Node::ParentList used to be a vector<Group*> but now is a vector<Node*>, this change allows classes not subclass from Group to now own children, which is what Geode will now do - it's children will be Drawable Nodes. I had to make a few OSG code changes to handle this change but most code, and I expect most end user application code won't need any changes so I went ahead and checked it in. If code does break then simply changing from a Group* to Node* will typically be sufficient to keep the code compiling.
