Theres been a lot of QQ about survival going away because of what Jeb said in an interview however, if you actually READ it the guy asks if minecraft survival will exist in it's CURRENT FORM after 1.8, there is no "Adventure Mode", there is only an improved Survival with the OPTION to explore ravines, strongholds ( or w/e they are ), surface dungeons, and NPC villages. So stop whining, read the interview not just Jeb's response.
I wish a thousand on all of you idiots!
EDIT: Curse you forums! My avatar won't update xD
Aha, I interpreted the question as if the *current* kind of survival mode will remain, and it wont since we're changing it now
