I do heavily disagree with you, though that is both of our rights so there's nothing wrong there. Perhaps it boils down to individual preference.I'm aware that GW is playing it off as continuation of the story... but that fluff is dead and they will create new fluff to takes its place. Simply too much was destroyed of the old setting/characters. Chronologically it will continue where the last edition left off, but for all intents purposes it is a new story. It is true that many of the characters were not seen dying but the whole world was blown to smithereens. So either they are dead, or GW pulls some lame story mechanic out of their bag of tricks to explain why/how they survived. Personally I'm tired of their retconning, so I've accepted that the they simply killed off the fluff. If the current rumours carry any truth (and we should know soon enough), the new world will be very different... it's a new start, for better or worse.
Pendrake makes some great points in his post above. His post pretty much summarizes my thoughts on the matter. If you wish to view it as a natural advancement of the story, you're free to do so. I simply don't see it that way.
