Yep. We added it manually and upgraded the server to Mindcrack+Mystcraft. So far, so good. Everything seems to be working well. No ID conflicts in the world we have found yet, but you DO have to travel to undiscovered blocks to find the new blocks such as marble, etc.
New Mod Pack Added

I'd just like some news regarding it. Just so when people ask, there's an answer other than " no one knows".
It seems that there aren't any, there used to be rumors two weeks ago stating "anytime" but now there is nothing and to be frank if ultimate pack waits a bit longer minecraft 1.5 will come out before it gets old or polished.
They're just waiting on mods to have stable releases. The problem is its hard to get all the mods at the point of being at a stable release and still compatible with each other at the same time.
It is a valid point, at that time the mod authors will likely want to switch development to 1.5 and any bugs in the 1.4 versions probably wouldn't get a fix unless it were urgent. Nobody likes maintaining two version branches.
I'm not sure why Ultimate hasn't had the same treatment as all the other packs: release it with the core mods and add the others as they come out. The world gen should be set now so I don't really understand the switch in policy - especially with the pack most people are waiting for...
Mystcraft does not have world generation so it doesn't prevent anything being released (as was proven by the other packs initially being released without it).
But Myscraft 'is' world generation. Full worlds at that
You clearly are missing the point. You can generate stuff with it but adding it later does not impact the overworld generation at all. Mystcraft having a new version coming soon is thus not a reason to wait to release the pack at all. Were something like RP2 missing then that definitely would since the ore generation would be missing. Yes, it is a very important mod but it isn't one that can stop a pack being released for people to start using.
I'm still of the view that the ultimate pack should have been treated like all the other packs were - release the world gen complete base and then go from there. There are no updates at all, the "updates" thread hasn't been updated since it was posted... somewhat ironic that we need an update thread to update the updates thread
Where is your confirmation of this? Last I heard in IRC there was still not going to be world gen and the modified stuff would only appear in the randomized generation in mystcraft ages.
Exact, the new Mystcraft uses world gen to generate the symbols in village chests and dungeons, and that will be pretty much the only way to discover symbols to create worlds.
So if you started a world now, when Mystcraft comes around as finally ready (the current version is a buggy beta) you will be unable to find new symbols unless you generate loys of new terrain.
Don't mind me spoiling but you will have to generate same amount of terrain to get new symbols whether you get ultimate now and mystcraft update later or ultimte and mystcraft at the same time.
Still, a valid point might be, that incompatibility between old mystcraft worlds and new mystcraft worlds leading to crashes.
