Mojo_LA: Thanks for the comments. I also admit that the sequels, not matter how much editing you do to them, will never be as great as the original Matrix - hopefully, though, my edit has made them better than what they originally were.

The Rave: From a conceptual point of view, I think I may possibly understand the filmmakers' intentions when creating that scene (and that only comes from having extensively studied of the themes and influences of The Matrix) - in execution, however, "the Rave" is one giant clusterf*** of a mess and I never had any intention of keeping it in the Edit.
(I believe DoctorM over at Fanedit.org did use "the Rave" as part of the ending in his Matrix Hacked edits)

Ending: For the DVD version, I am seriously considering taking out that last line - when I had originally put it, it was intended to be a direct reference to those themes of rebirth/repetition/reincarnation/etc, but now when I hear it, I don't think it was really needed in the first place and now prefer the cut just being silent.
