At this point I dont even see this as notch's game anymore. Its albakas and space toads and eloraams game and notch is just some rogue trying to mess things up with his half baked, overgrown man child ideas.

That's why I'm honestly hoping for a 'stand-alone' engine release of Minecraft world generator. Hopefully so that these mods won't suffer for Notch's negligence.. (which he finally admitted about on his blog...)
Edit: Or, have all current versions of 'beta' Minecraft become Open Source releases of the game...
