For instance, what about PrCs such as Mystic Theurge, Eldritch Knight, and so forth. Will a Talent Tree be available that will grant 2/3 casting to a Fighter? Or another that expands the wizard's spell options to include divine magic? Recall also that each of the classes fits into a "role,"  yet most patch PrCs dealt with combinations that - in 4e - would seem to ride the edge between two roles. That would seem to - if not defeat the purpose - then surely confuse the issue of roles that the creators of 4e see as so important. Thus I wonder whether any attempt will be made to create such patch / role bending / altering / fusing talent trees. Somehow I doubt it, which leaves me wondering how they will deal with those archtypes that specifically would fall into / require such multiclassing? Perhaps they have developed a new form of multiclassing such that mere multiclassing - rather than PrC / talent tree - will be enough to allow for such a class concept? We'll just have to wait and see.</blockquote>
