So many people including me have been asking for the VST tempo lock issue to be fixed for so many years now that I'm beginning to think it just can't be done because Peter has said for a long time that they're working on it yet nothing has been announced. Something in the base code is preventing it.
Maybe that's the primary reason they're thinking of ReWire. It's a workaround for that problem as well as adding another wow factor.
