Luthier, you say that many core problems will be fixed by the sequel but there will only be one more CoD patch. The fact that the sequel can be loaded over CoD means that CoD will benefit from all of those improvements. These may be net code, LODs etc which we may have to wait for.
BUT! Unique CoD issues have only one more chance. This essentially means the map and the aircraft. Everything else would seem to be 'core' although I may have missed something.

As stated previously, it’s still my hope that we’ll release a map-making SDK allowing the community to change the existing map as they see fit.
Aircraft – as I wrote previously, they won’t be abandoned with the upcoming final patch. We are carrying everything over to the sequel, and they will get the same attention as new sequel aircraft and definitely benefit from our future efforts.

Luthier,
just to be absolutely clear, because some people here will split your words if they can....

Are you saying that if I buy the sequel and load it over CoD I will be able to return to the CoD BoB map, use the sequel's FMB to build new CoD missions, use its new GUIs, use the sequel's new AI commands, in fact use all of the sequel's new core utilities and improvements, to create new CoD/BoB scenarios including off-line missions and will have the old CoD aircraft included with their FMs updated (where necessary)? In other words the CoD part of "SoW/whatever" will be brought to the same level as the sequel.
