The Model 998 will still use HDMI - by now, it should be far enough along that it can't be delayed and re-worked for a newly-finalized spec. I kind of like the concept - an existing connector, a widely-used cable type, a locking connector (as long as the little tab doesn't break off), and much less restriction on cable length. It could be exactly what custom installers need.
