I have been delivering data warehousing solutions with the kimball methodology for over 10 years. This version of the book deals with more of the not so perfect world issues we have to deal with. It adds to the design choices available to architects to use.the old books had more of an assumption that businesses will make changes to accommodate the simple modeling processes and many wont. I just hope the ETL book gets a more realistic rewrite soon as well.
