I wouldn't let early leaked information set the tone for how I'll feel about the actual release, not when we'll find out the full "official" truth so soon anyway. (Shrug.)
AD, and the Softimage teams, should certainly understand that this is an industry where the rule is, "grow or die." If we don't see a reasonable attempt to keep up with the pace of competition, we're right to question, but I'm not going to flay them before even hearing the official change list.
