I wouldn't count on vehicle physics being updated anytime ever. Apparently the focus is shifting purely towards building, so that's probably where you will see any work done.
I disagree with _Rave_ when he says taking out terrain will make servers better. There is no logic in stating that removing option A will make people work harder using option B. No one will be "forced" to build better tdm's, people will just stop making them altogether.

That depends on who the person is.

i've never actually seen an exceptionally good tdm that's hosted on terrain/interiors so i guess the people that made those and don't want to do brick terrain and whatnot just won't host and it won't really be much a loss. in my opinion, at least.

This.
Any worthwhile TDMs are usually the ones with effort put into them at some stage, not just using a terrain. Of course there ARE servers which rely on terrain to make them work and are still great (ie. Jorgur's Dogfight), but in general if the terrains are removed a lot of the less worthwhile TDMs will never appear ever again and the server list will be slightly less busy.
Then again, Slate TDM is a certainty.

hey guys guess what it really isnt hard to make good brick tdms.
