See, and that's again going to be a problem, that makes your old books will be completely obsoleted as the rules would no longer apply to them. Why not keep both SRDs?

Lots of AI time for sure

sigh and you just accept it like a good little consumer.

According to whom? WotC marketing? Take a look at the play test... IDK how "compatible" its really is going to be.
