This isn't backtracking, and this is awesome.
There has been a lot of coverage over how the new iWorks is to the old one as FCP X was to FCP 7. Unlike that debacle, which left users wondering WTF, this time Apple is providing a roadmap amazingly quickly after release, detailing exactly what feature improvements we should be expecting in the near future and when. To that I say: about time, and thank you.
I'll stick with iWorks '09 for now, but at least I now know that e.g. the lack of AppleScript is temporary, not permanent, and that I'll be able to massage my old scripts to work with the new tools within six months. Not bad.
