If you can't make the MacBook Air retinal, you make the Retina-MacBook Pro airy. Also, it's more powerful regardless of the height.
They should transform Air into a tablet hybrid already. The new Pros are rumored to be even thinner than before. It'll be within Air level very soon.
I would love that. My hope is that I can order my new MBA Monday and have it by Friday. Longer battery life, better standard SSD and 8gb memory standard would be just awesome.
Was looking at getting a 15" rMBP after WWDC but if its later in the year will give me a wee bit longer to save to get a better spec machine 
It doesn't matter what you do, you can yell at them all you want with hundreds or thousands of folks, Apple WILL never do it. That's a fact based on their track records.
Apple always look forward, not the past. They will break backward compatibility as often as they can.
Your folks should move to Windows and stay there because those OS will be supported for a decade or longer. Apple is more like 3-4 years, which is decreasing over time.
Don't want that 37W HD4600 crap. Still hoping for a 28W HD5100 rMBP13
Yeah me neither. There's a 37W quad-core which would be awesome (i7-4702HQ), but I hope Apple has a custom version of it that includes 5100 (or 5200!) graphics because 4600 would be quite disappointing.
That said, if this rumor is true, it doesn't look like we're even going to see updated rMBP Monday.

The MacBook Pro Retina will include the Iris Pro 5200 graphics which will ship in Q3 2013. It has been launched but won't be available till then, according to Intels website.
Secondly, the low display yield rates indicate Apple is going to switch to IGZO panels in the upcoming refresh. The production of these panels just startet, therefore the supply is not really high enough for a new rMBP just yet.
Combining the new display tech and the new Haswell chips, Apple will be able to reduce the power requirements and the heat substantially, resulting in the ability to make the body of the machine even slimmer.

There's also apparently a special way to underclock the 47W processors (with 5200 graphics) such that they only output 37W, but I didn't get a chance to check up on that.

The 13" as well? Which chip do you think they'd use?
No surprise, no Haswell available product until Q3 coz the USB3 bug and the igzo display switch, instead apple will offer *new* macbook w/o Haswell but loaded with 8 02.1ac WiFi and maybe better cameras, sure lower pricing on ssd based devices but no new lines.
As mentioned above, Apple has to wait for certain components becoming available. The additional waiting time will result in a substantially better product.
That the three other SKUs belong to Airport products has been mentioned by me two days ago.
If by many you mean nobody then you would be right.

It's rumor. A little early to freak out.
