Races will be retrofitted to have ability score choice in Essentials, like the PHB3 ones.

There will be new races in Heroes of Shadow.

Ravenloft where you actually play the vampires and werewolves as well as normal races? Am I reading that right? A bit of WoD in DnD? That's actually really cool, and might serve to help break Ravenloft from the traditional "adventure" category/rut it's been stuck in and get people thinking that it actually could be a campaign setting/subsystem for DnD in a way the 2e boxed sets never did.

This is long overdue.

"DMG3 prob in 2012, not enough groups in epic yet, support for epic in ddi"

The DMG3 might come in 2012, but there are not enough groups playing in the epic tier yet. Instead epic tier support through the DDI.

Apparently they are trying to limit the use of stun and to a certain degree daze in their design.
