Oh, I'm really disappointed that the roads won't be there. I was looking forward to this!

I have built a bridge over the Brandywine (over 200 m wide with 12 arcs and a roof) and also some roads in vanilla Minecraft. It was not so easy to decide the height of the road, where to build tunnels or bridges, where to start climbing or descending a hill or rather go around a hill than crossing it. So I assume, it's also not so easy to find an algorithm to create roads automatically within a reasonable time.

So, I whish the programmers good luck with that task and hope roads will be included in beta 22.
