(a little of both I'd wager).My guess is that UA is going to be a testing ground for new concepts for 4.0.  Dunno whether it has been planned that way, but I think it will be the end result.My big prediction for 4.0: 2 sets of rules will be provided for major portions of the game.  You'll see options for either HP or WP/VP style systems.  You'll see a spell point and vancian system presented side-by-side, with the option of doing either or both, etc..  Oh wait, that is the current version of magic with Psionics thrown in.  But since many object to psi in the core rules, you'll see a "spell point" system which smells very familiar.The net effect is that the rules will be simplified/reduced, as they will need the space for 2 sets.Wow.  What an incoherent pile of prattle.   Sorry.  I'm going to get some coffee now.</blockquote>
