The well is only there as part of the decoration. The village will function exactly the same with or without the well as long as there are valid houses present.
Personally I really like it. It combines the best of both systems. Also this makes taking damage a bigger deal. Before you could just wait a few seconds and completely heal up without any cost to hunger but now there's more of a limit on how much health each piece of food will generate.
Although I do think they need to reduce the maximum stack size of food because at the moment you can have enough food in one inventory slot to last weeks of in game time. I still think it should be stackable but only to 4 or 8.
It may seem like there isn't much content added but the content that they've added this update is very versatile. Judge updates on quality, not quantity.
I'm not against it but now cows have the better drops and they are easier to breed than pigs since the only way to get carrots is to find a village or get lucky with mob drops but you can easily get at least 10 seeds on the first day.
'RE @XeroJABS: The reason why I don't think the potion effects will be in 1.9 is because there's not enough time to add the brewing syste' From Jebs twitter. I'm guessing that it'll be in 1.10.
I don't think that XP will really fit Minecraft. But we'll have to wait and see I suppose. Maybe this will effect mining speed etc. (Jeb tweeted about having a way to change mining speed a few weeks ago)
I hope they stick with the taller world limit because I'd love to climb and explore mountains like that and that floating island looks pretty cool as-well.
