1.8 looks like it's an optional update for world gens. There's nothing new (so far) that can't be crafted with existing blocks. Sure, if we wanted to carve out another area outside of everyone, that's cool, but it's not necessary to get all the new goodies.
I'd be a *little* afraid of mass mob farming if the spawners were available, but maybe we throttle that by only allowing so many purchases of this sort of thing per user. Or something like that. Bobsky's farm should be enough for any baddie mob drops. Also, by keeping it in the Overlord's hands they can make a decision whether it's practical or not.
So it goes.
