2.29 is just an internal name to describe the currently
(in-heavy-development) blender CVS version that will be released as 2.3.

Yes, the screenshots in the UI doc were half mockups, half working. There
has been an incredible amount of work down over the last few weeks to make
the proposals in the document a reality.

The UI changes are following the proposal. That's why the opportunity has
been here to offer improved proposals if necessary. 2.3 is aimed for release
at the conference at the end of October. This is all mentioned on the site.
