Keith does a pretty thorough review of the new features offered in the new MT 3.1. It looks as though the new features do not live up to their own hype and that MT might be regretting their use of Perl in the future. Seems to be more of a hinderance than a benefit.

So, the 3.1 upgrade broke basic functionality of my site. They made quite a big deal about how they got it out quickly and sure it’s great they got it out in 6 months or whatever, but now my site is broken. This is something none of the previous upgrades had done. Sometimes faster isn’t better.
