It will be the connect/disconnect between those to states that determines how you feel about it and how successful WotC was in this regard.I already staked out what defines compatibility for me earlier in this mass thread and it remains to be seen if I will enjoy the latest core offering in 2024.Personally, I believe that 2024 Core D&D will be an iteration of already playtested ideas that we have seen so far and some that will come out in the next year or so. If they were going to do a completely new edition, a true 6e, we would be back in an open playtest like we did in 5e. WotC is just too cautious after 4e to attempt a blind build again. The financial implications of an unsuccessful edition are just too great and the disruption to their broader media goals would be unacceptable. That would be a career ending mess up...</blockquote>
