Hang on, this is a Mystcraft thread. Why are we talking about RP2?
Um, the sooner we get the Mystcraft upgrade the better, as I'm not going to bother using it until then. Yes there's a work around but it's too much trouble given all the other stuff I can do instead.
We're talking about RP2 because of the worry that the FTB team might wait on pushing updates until all mods are in 1.5-ready status.
Which would kill all hope of us getting the bug fixes for Mystcraft in a timely fashion, since RedPower 2 has only had one update in the last nine months, and the dev has been pretty much completely absent/non-responsive from the public perspective since the beginning of the year (not counting the fourteen minutes she was on Twitter in February).
The logic goes something like this:
1. Updates are on Mondays.
2. The Monday after 1.5 came out, six days after the Mystcraft bug release, we didn't have an update in the Ultimate pack.
3. Six days has been enough time to test other mod updates in the Lite pack.
4. The current version of Myscraft is very clearly broken.
5. They're already starting to talk about what and how many mods are ready for 1.5. [

All this has those of us who rather enjoy Mystcraft worried that they're not going to patch the world generation bugs, the crashing problems, etc, for a long, long time, since we might have to wait for RP2 to update to 1.5 (as they can't update Minecraft.exe until everything is ready).
They might not be bothering to test 1.4.7 stuff any more, focused entirely on 1.5.
