Let MtGox just die.

Not really. Pretty much nobody with any weight uses MtGox anymore. All that's left for them are noobs, and those will be preyed upon regardless of what you say in the forum here. If they knew better or had a clue where/what to ask they wouldn't be noobs after all.
It is the fate of decentralized projects that they end up covered by a bunch of parasites fleecing the newcomers by abusing their cluelessness. Such is MtGox, such is BFL, you can clearly see by the cheap advertising and ra-ra-ra PR that they're not addressing themselves to people with a clue, but are simply trying to maximize their exposure among the clueless, like any common scam.
For the record the same is true of free cities. New York in the 1800s had a healthy contingent of immigrants earning their salt by fleecing people fresh off Staten Island. 'Tis how the free world works.

1. I can place unfunded orders so the change to the trading engine that was supposed to happen on April 17th is NOT implemented to date, nor I could find any recent communication about it.
2. I don't know exactly WHEN US-based customer accounts will be moved to CoinLab. That was supposed to happen by the end of last month, right?
3. Rumour has it that their SEPA account (which goes through Poland) is currently maxed out for withdrawals and we have no information on how long the withdrawal processing queue is. I don't want to spread FUD but after seeing what happened to Bitcoin-24 I'd rather have some public reassuring statement right now.
4. For fiat I have two wallets in Gox - one in USD and one in EUR - because the USD wallet was automatically created at account creation. I have been trading in both currencies. Yet I could find no indication about what will happen to the USD one with the CoinLab deal.
I believe that the world's biggest bitcoin exchange should do better than that by now.
