Alright, we are all waiting for ultimate, and this isn't a complaint or question thread, the team can and should take as long as they want putting together a great pack; this isn't addressed to the team, this is to the players.
Many people have said, and plenty have even acted on the notion that Mindcrack is the same as ultimate, at least as world gen is concerned, and to the best of my knowledge, that is false.
You see, the mod makers never provided a list of what mods will be included in ultimate, but they have shown intrest with a couple mods that aren't in Mindcrack. First and foremost Ars Magika. The huge amount of world gen in that mod would mean that if it is included in ultimate, Mindcrack worlds won't be fully compatible. Heck, even the new version of mystcraft will have at least some new world gen in the form of villagers. But even if Ars Magika doesn't make the cut, who knows what other mods they might be planning?
Many have complained that since all the mods are out, ultimate should be done; which is sound logic, if all the mods were really out. The fact that there is still no ETA on ultimate despite all the known mods being updated (except for mystcraft), means, at least for me, that new mods are coming, and we have no way of knowing what they are.
TL;DR: Ultimate will most likely contain mods that we don't expect and could have new world gen, meaning that Mindcrack (and DW20) worlds might be incompatible. No guarantees either way, so don't get your hopes up.
