I know that this topic has been covered before, but now with some "leaked" photos and speculation that it's actually being worked on, I think it needs revisiting. You're supposed to be able to place it in all 6 directions like logs, use it for decoration, use it for dampening fall damage, and even use it for breeding. What do you think about the hay bale?
I'm really excited about the future of automated animal breeding with this. Although I'm sure they'll give the hay bales limited usage to balance them out, feeding your cows constantly can get annoying to say the least! Now they just need to add block placement functionality with dispensers (Jeb hinted at lots of new functionslity with dispensers since they added the dropper) to place the bales and I'll finally have a reason to stop eating baked potatoes!
I certainly won't argue against any new aesthetic options. Any farming or storage uses would just be a bonus to me.

If it was not a joke, we would have gotten them in the 1.5 update.
No we wouldn't have, the Hay Bales picture was found when 1.5 was close to its final stages, so they probably wanted to save it for 1.6 so 1.5 could be released earlier.

Yes, or it ahs something to do with some whole new mechanic we don't know about that wouldn't fit in with the Redstone theme.
I'd like to see Hay Bales implemented like others suggest- a block that lets animals eat and then breed on their own, but it has to be replaced after a while.
Okay here's my Poll vote!
Yes we will be getting the Hay bale and in 1.6!
It will be crafted with 9 wheat! And animals will be able to eat from it 5 times before needing a new one!
It will be a great decor item but not spawn anywhere you have to craft it!
It will only stop a little of the fall damage!
But I think we need carrot sacks and patato sacks! (Carrot for storage and for breed pigs and Seeds packs for breed chickens and storage and patato sacks for storage! And doggy bowls for breed dogs and for cats kitty bowls!)
:EDIT! It should be flammable also!

Just because your online doesn't mean you should act with no disregard for the real people through the screen.
