I am so, so excited for Default Interface Implementations. Abstract classes are great but when you want (have) to go down a different inheritance tree this will be so nice.

Abstract classes can have state, default interfaces can only have behavior. So state is still single-inheritance, while behavior is effectively multiple-inheritance now.
