I'm actually pretty happy with the idea that the Rogue class isn't going to turn into something called "thief", but not for YoshiP's reasons. He's got some strange unwillingness to cop to certain realities of his world, which leads him to not want to have something called a "thief" as canon. From my point of view, though, a thief isn't a class. It's an occupation.
C'kayah, for instance, is ICly a poor conjurer, a reasonable swordsman, and a decent archer. But he is also a thief.
Of course, when Rogue comes out, I'm jumping on it like a junkie on a fix. But don't worry, Madda. C's not going to be that kind of rogue. He's going to be this kind of rogue:
