It's not important, but that is my total experience (glazed eyes until people realize they can ignore them,) and what the Dara indicates. Notice how carefully they have rolled out and tested first Level Feats for two years a Ross's half a dozen products, tested in UA, before coming clean about a new Feats system. And based on Crawford's last report...first Level Feats with Background are a hit...unlike the 2014 approach. Yet still, it is compatible.
Background feats are already out in books. Books put out BEFORE the playtesting started. They've known for a long time that feats were hugely popular and why.
Yes, in books that were UA tested. For years, carefully. And that's my point here: the real change in OneD&D is already present in 5E as it stands: doing an overhaul of the Feats themselves is details, after the drift of the past few years design is standardized.

It's really not all that different.
Agreed. Nothing earth-shattering. Though the new Bard ability to heal as a reaction using inspiration is OP, IMO. But it's stuff like that - small things where the balance will need to be looked at.
I agree. And it was their announcement that they were intending to rectify the undermonetization of D&D pretty much cemented this for me. Over the course of the next few years I think D&D will be an overall worse experience for consumers as WotC revolves their business around squeezing customers as much as they can rather than having much concern for how good their product is. With any luck, I'll be shown to be wrong.
