I think some other interesting questions would be in order:

1)    From the desktop stand point, what advancements have there been 
made in regards to things like udev. We all know udev in FC3 works, but 
sometimes fails silently and wthout any warning whatsoever to the user 
on what's going on. I'm sure this has been worked on for Core 4, but how 
has it been addressed?

2)    Though I'm pretty sure it is safe to assume the latest and 
greatest of environments will ship with it (Xorg 6.8.2, GNOME 2.10, KDE 
3.4.x), from a desktop experience stand point, what can we expect? What 
about eyecandy by means of extensions like Composite, RENDER, Fixes, 
damages, et al, will Core 4 feature a way to enable/disable these, or is 
this dependent on the environment used? What about multimedia 
capabilities? (I can alsmost forsee it will include ALSA at the very 
least 1.0.9, if not 1.1.0 [or 1.0.10] is made available by then)

3)   As it has been hinted, we can expect OOo 2.0 to be boundled with 
it, does this means Core 2 will feature a JVM with it? If so, which?
