So with the 1.8.2 update coming up, we know that 4J has said that old terrain won't be changed, but unexplored (ungenerated) terrain in pre -1.8.2 worlds could still get 1.8.2 stuff in them, like the new biomes and strongholds, etc.
So here's my thought: Once we get 1.8.2 , the only terrain developments that we won't have compared to release 1.0.0 version are jungles and Nether Fortresses. Jungles we can do without if we have to, because other than cocoa plants and Ocelots, we're not missing much in terms of gameplay. However, for the Nether, Nether Fortresses are the source of Nether Wart (import for potions), Blaze Spawners (For Blaze Rods/Powder, which we need for potions and to make the Eyes of Ender), and cool nether blocks (not that important).
So the idea i'm having is that I'm starting a new world for 1.8.2 to get all the cool new stuff, but if i NEVER make a nether portal, my nether should not generate, right? And if I never make a nether, then once the next update (or whichever one gets fortresses) shows up, i can open a nether portal then, and have all the stuff I'd need for potions and to get my End Portal from 1.8.2 strongholds to open up to the End.
Yeah, that's a good idea not enter the Nether. What I'm going to do since my whole world is explored is just put 1 melon in my world on creative and just have that so I don't have a new world and can still have melons and stuff like that. Then putting it back on "Normal" for the rest of the time.

That's a good idea why don't you just start a new world go creative give your self stuff to rebuild your house and give your self the same stuff you had in the orginal map
This i what i was hoping for. I cant justify going in to the nether in 1.8.2 if there's even a hope i can keep that world with a 1.2.3 nether.
I actually tweeted @rreavy on this very subject and he responded with something along the lines of "Any un-explored areas in current worlds will be generated as 1.8.2 terrain."
On another topic, i wonder how 4j will do nether fortress. I mean the nether is so small as it is you can see it end to end from any place in the map. A decent sized nether fortress can take up that entire amount of space. This leads me to believe that we will be getting a map size increase very soon, definitely not in the 1.8.2 update but soon.

Does this sound right?
