Amen.

I like they maybe a lot... If you want the feature, you should say why you need it with good reasons. "Maybe" isn't a good reason.

Also that was Slin said.

Speaking about vegetation, did you know about this?

"A8: If the sprite's file name ends with "_x2" or "_x3", it is rendered in the shape of 2 resp. 3 crossed planes. This is very useful for simulating vegetation. You can find an example in the infinite_terrain.c demo."

... i just should have posted the screenshot..
I have no idea how model-instancing works, i have no idea if it has performance dropdowns/issues etc, but i'm pretty sure that good communication is performed slightly different

I know this, but models are looking better, special if there are not just grass and small trees in the level. Also I said it could speed up the pssm, because there are some views and every object is rendered 4 times or more!

look at this: Instancing Video

Sure that could work with DX9 as good as shown in this video?

I tried the demo with 60000 Models in instancing mode and the framerate was perfect. I think DX9 and DX10 isn't this much different that the framerate would break down with dx9.

60k models of what? boxes? or bone animated actors?

no, complex, animated models. See the video I posted 2 posts before
