It's on the Dev List. I wish more people would read it before posting here...

Yeah, it's planned.

I mean, a Dwarf may feel content at admiring items and handiwork, or fulfilled, but they should still feel bad about the death.

This is what it all boils down to. Dwarves just don't care enough about the death of their lovers/spouses/friends/children. The bad thought is like a pebble dropped into a sea of complete and utter bliss. Eating in a good dining room (and it is way to easy to get dining room qualities to "Legendary" in my opinion) seems to fix everything. The death of a loved should completely overwhelm all other good thoughts at first (unless the dwarf is used to such things, i.e. "Doesn't care about anything anymore")

Honestly, I think there is too big of a gap between cutting down trees and actually making idols and crap from them for their to be any advantages. I mean, just because you've been refining steel for your entire life doesn't mean you should be able to sit down in front of an anvil and start churning out short swords.

Honestly, I think this is too modern, even for dwarves.

Of course, you could be co-oping with a total jerk who permafloods your fort.   :p

Agreed. The demands can be absolutely ridiculous (if not impossible) to fulfill. And hammerings have a high fatality rate.

And another thing: free falling water should not freeze. Ever. I tried draining some accidental flood water into the chasm during winter and it FROZE as soon as it touched the air, leaving a wall of ice connected to the chasm wall.
