Comments: This one [Barbarian] is obviously obsoleted by the PHBII playtest material.

Not if you're not planning to feed the cash cow!

You could also just take the free downloadable playtest barbarian, and never plan on buying the book it will be published in. I can steal ideas from here and other places to flesh it out.

4e runs like a dream, and from a business standpoint WotC are being smart, but I have other uses for my money than buying remixes of other classes with new fluff attached. It takes a lot to part me with my limited cash. The base system of 4e is an amazing platform, allowing tons of homebrewing. I need no further published material.
