Is it planned to support the Classic Shader with Karma? I have seen myself using more and more the Classic Shader because of its customability on some cases and wouldn't like to miss it when Karma is out of beta and I move to Solaris.
Also, after reading the Karma FAQ I have the feeling it will inherit most of the Mantra functionality and shading capabilities, am I being too optimistic thinking it will happen before year's end?

I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, except for the legacy SSS mode. Have you tried it?

First tests were apparently functional but I really don't know how much of the Mantra shading model and vex functionalities are being ported to Karma… that's was the underlying question I suppose.

Your guess is as good as mine, but this is a start.

Yeah, already read it, but, as you said, beyond that faq and staff hints, it's all a guess game…
