Also worth noting that, outside of GWT-RPC, I think that many of the current major GWT features (widgets, uibinder, etc.) could be ported by the community such that only minor code changes are necessary. I would even hazard a guess that companies like Vaadin might be interested in supporting or at least contributing to a 3.0 based port things like the widget library.
As I've said in other emails though, I think the migration/transition story from 2.8 -> 3.0 needs work and open communication. Based on what's in the videos from the meetup, I don't think it has to be as radical of a change as is feared. To make it smoother, hopefully there will be early access to the compiler API such that the community can start thinking about building 3.0 versions of libraries we want available.

When is GWT 3 available?--

The plans are quite reasonable for anybody that can start from scratch (which doesn't include me). Anybody invested in GWT will have a problem. That includes Google, although there are no obvious plans for a migration path.
It might mean GWT forks, although I can't see anybody new to GWT adopting GWT 2.8 once 3.0 is out, and the current plans will put people off adopting GWT now.
