The semantics of remote objects will remain identical, the syntax will
change slightly.  It will still be possible to emulate remote objects by
implementing the callRemote method to do local dispatch (which could be
automated).

I guess I'm just being thick here.  What is the convenience being lost? 
The additional 10 characters per remote invocation doesn't seem that
significant to me.  (After all, it is currently still necessary to
emulate the behavior of remote objects, since they're always
asynchronous.)
