As noted here, this release doesn't actually seem to be branded as FCS3. That, plus some other weird things like Blu-ray support being added directly to compressor and not DVD Studio Pro, tend to indicate that this is just an interim release to buy time while the more major release everyone has been waiting for is completed.

So, we might see that major release sooner than the usual two year upgrade cycle would predict. (And that major update will come; when Apple axed 64-bit Carbon they implicitly committed to eventually rewriting Final Cut.)

I've got a full rundown of notable new features for Red folks over at Indie4K.
