+0001 ;) Oh one more thing: The current system relies heavily on groups + proxies for overrides.
Among the current limitations of the system right now is that there is no way to make an instance 'unique' with flexibility: cycles has some tricks for shaders, but animation is copied to all instances. While this is good for rendering huge scenes, it is a limitation for doing e.g. crowds- could be part of the discussion as well, at least on how to make such things possible.
