Personally, I'm trying to understand what it is that Ted is suggesting. Indeed, I do hope to bring something like company-mode into Emacs, maybe even making it into the default in-buffer completion UI. But the UI based on *Completions* is likely to stick around for a long time, so it's important to integrate the two at some level. For me the current "integration" is that they should all rely on completion-at-point-functions, so that major modes can focus on providing the best completion-at-point-function they can, so the user can freely choose which UI they want to use.
