2) It’s kind of crazy that the review tool’s URL is "...&action=prettypatch". It was nice of you to leave the old review tool unchanged, at least in part to placate me, but you’re squatting on another feature’s territory! I think we want a plain old formatted diff for other purposes. We need to get your tool out of there!

What's crazy about this? What are the other uses of the plain formatted diff that aren't met by this? I agree with the new tool replacing the old one. I just don't see the benefits of keeping both the new review tool and the formatted diff page.
Sometimes you just want a formatted view of the patch. To give one example, Cmd+A Cmd+V does not do the right thing on this page for someone who just wants the patch.

Yeah I often use that to get a part of patch that I posted on bugzilla.  e.g. I post some work in progress in bugzilla but decide to   change my approach.  But I can still make a use of some changes in my original patch, so I just copy & paste from pretty diff and then remove line numbers on TextMate and paste it on XCode.  (Let me know if there's a better way of doing this sort of stuff).

I do really like the layout of the new page. Seems like it will be really good for reviews. (Maybe the "Publish" button should be labeled "Preview" to reduce needless nervousness.)

I second that.
