Great discussion. Helped to frame PBR as a preview for offline renders
(Cycles), for external real-time renders (Unreal) and a first-class target
itself. And that *all* of these uses are important. UX complexities abound*
-- is Paweł Łyczkowski involved, and if not can he be? Clément did post a
spreadsheet on how well different features work as of the latest version.
I'm also interested in what still needs to be done.

I'd rather see PBR align with the 2.8 release. Partly based on how much
time such a major update might need, and part because it's such an
important aspect of the new viewport and... well 2.8 is where big viewport
tasks go! Focus energies on the big release. What does everyone else think?

Still aiming for this week: Friday Eastern US time :). I shared an early
draft with a few people and am incorporating their feedback.
