Remember that boring old nether?

To anyone thinking "OMG NETHER IS UGLY NOW GREG COME HERE NERF THIS THING":
The Nether was supposed to be one hell of a place to explore (ignore the pun). As it stood in FTB, it wasn't really useful - most useful mobs were put in mobtraps using Soul Shards, Nether Wart was farmable in the Overworld with Forestry/MFR and you could make a Netherrack MystCraft age for all your Magma Crucible needs (Lava)/Compressor needs (Nether Brick).
Now it is not only worth exploring, but also quite dangerous - and they fit!
Like sulfur clouds! Used to make Gunpowder! Or Ash Clouds - coal!
All mob drops.
If you think Glowvines are out of place... Then Glowstone is out of place too.
Every mob has its Nether equivalent (IMO - Blazes/Enderman, Ghasts/Creepers, Pigmen/Zombie, Spiders/Spiders, Wither Skeletons/Skeletons and Wither/Ender Dragon) now.
And truth be told, the Nether is more of a "Doomed version of the Overworld" then a "Desesperate place with no life in there, save some mobs" now.

MFR supports the ore bushes now, so they're a decent way to mine passively. But they will not respond to fertilizers, so the only way to speed then up is a fairly massive area. MFR systems slow down and cost more energy the more you upgrade them, so its never going to be competition for the mining drill laser or even manual mining.[DOUBLEPOST=1370720009][/DOUBLEPOST]
It is at least as plausible as torches that burn forever, infinite water, bedrock, and a portal leading to hell.
they don't make sense from a logical standpoint, but i don't think ore berries make sense more a minecraft standpoint
I prefer to use multiple Harvesters, one for each ore type harvesting 9 oreberry bushes, so you end up with one ingot per berry cycle on average.
Also, as of RC1, Natura's Berry Bushes are also compatible with Harvesters, and they will look 'up' now. So you only need a single Harvester for a 3 x 3 x 4 tall berry bush, and it will harvest the ones in the middle that you normally could not reach.
Now the question is... what to do with them? They can't go in the Bio Reactor for processing into Biofuel, and there's no way you're going to go through THAT much food...
