Parts, Assemblies and Catalog Types

I'd like to know the direction and phylosophy on how this stuff will work otherwise anything I do today is useless tomorrow.
Some question I have or things I'd like to know:

1.  Are Parts here to Stay

2.  Will material remain a part item.  I assume it will as in how materials are delt with in assemblies

3.  I assume the above as even though we acan apply a material to an assembly we cant use this as we must use the material from the part to properly render

 

IT WOULD SEEM PARTS ARE A MUST FOR PARTS AND ASSEMBLIES ARE THE CATALOG INSTANCES WITH ONE OR MORE PARTS

4.  Why not just meld the part symbology into a catalog family  - THEN - HAVE CATALOG INSTANCES WITH OVERRIDDEN SYMBOLOGY FOR EACH ASSEMBLY.

5.  Then stick it all in a graphical dialog box where everthing is viibly there in front of your face.
