Not much interest in the Draconomicon?

You'll be happy to know that Ashardalon was only excluded from the "Famous Dragons" section so that he could be included at greater length as the first entry in the "Draconic Hall of Fame". He's in there with just as much detail as the other heavy hitters.
That's brilliant man. I'm gonna steal that for the future, thanks!

Can I get all excited and assume that "Draconic Hall of Fame" will be a new feature in the Dragon Magazine, similar to the "Wyrms of the North"?

Unlikely considering that those entries only consist out of a slightly modified stat block and 3 lore entries.

No, he means that Ashardalon is in the back of the book.
Now, Draconic Hall of Fame would be an awesome Dragon Feature, I agree.

I got the book, and so far I like it. There is a lot of stun in it, and I suspect to use it one way or another once I run a homebrew campaign (and possibly also to augment a few modules...)

I've finished reading the book and I think its a very solid supplement with lots of useful stuff. I love new monsters, so having so many in this book is a big plus (I especially liked the planar dragons, draconic parasites, abishai, the hobbler kobolds, and the dragonborn anhilator; the epic monsters were overall, very, very cool). Something that I found interesting that hasn't been remarked upon (at least that I remember), is that the book features what I think is the first solo creature with a class template (the green dragon warlock) that I've seen.
Well, yes, because they didn't have room for another 100+ pages in the book. Didn't we discuss this earlier?
On the other hand, if they did produce a "Wyrm Hall of Fame" feature in Dragon, in the same vein as the entries for the Demon Princes, Lords of the Nine, and Primordials, I expect those will be rather extensive - since they have the room to really focus on one entry.
I imagine, similarly, that the entries for such beings in the Manual of the Planes will be extensive stat-blocks with full details on the Demon Prince/Primordial/etc, but not entire chapters. There just isn't room for that much detail without cutting out too much other information - I'd rather have a standard entry on Baphomet, Dispater and Oberon, than an absurdly thorough right up on a single one of them.

I didn't think 1-2 more pages for each famous dragon would have blown the 4E Drac out of proportion. It would still have less pages than the 3E one.
