We were discussing the 1.5 / Lightning issue today on the server. I can't help but notice that despite the theoretical possibility of fire damage from lightning, I have seen absolutely no evidence of it actually happening - and I check the Minecraft subreddit every day.
I think the likelyhood is very, very low, and would require bad design (overhangs in wooden structures), bad luck and a lot of time. I think it's a non-issue really. 99.9% of lightning strikes will be extinguished immediately by the rain.
I really don't think they will "bugfix" the lightning. I think it's supposed to do that.
It just seems like everyone is behaving like the entire world will be wreathed in flames the second we go to 1.5, and I don't see any evidence that that is the case.
