I'm not sure why there's so much pessimism about this... It's marketed as a sneak peak after all. I'm sure there's much more to be revealed.
If all the minor gripes we've collected over the years finally get addressed and smoothed out, and we get a number of small features such as this, then I'll be moderately happy. Softimage's attraction has always been in it's workflow, and small, clever tools such as this only bolster that. I personally have never worked anywhere with a camera sequencer and I can see it being useful from time to time.
