in the case of pgf/tikz, the acceleration will be enormous, i would
imagine. (i don't do pictures any more, but the pgf/tikz tree on the
archive makes me feel slightly faint.)
however, there _is_ mylatexformat, and anyone may build their own format
for their own work. a latex3 format is one thing. a latex3 format
that's good for everyone's requirements is going to take as long as
context has since it started, i would guess.
personally, i wouldn't add anything to it, beyond the replacements for
the functionality of current latex (excepting, of course, the extensions
-- coffins, most recently -- that we discuss here.
so i would be sympathetic to fontspec and unicode-math, but sceptical of
many other things that have been suggested here.

however, i _can_ see the rationale of that...
