All-new Shimano Deore unveiled
OK, not completely new - the chain and cassettes are the same. The rest of the workhorse groupset gets a thorough grooming, though

Did they say if they are dropping the Deore Hollowtech I cranks and BB? I hope not.

Good to see the Shadow option dropping right down the range.

What is a "Deore" anyway?

There will be no Deore chainset other than the external bottom bracket types.  The current FC-M532 and FC-M545 are two piece type.  Octalink and square taper Hollowtech are finished.

Shame. The Octalink Deore cranks and BB are my fit, forget, don't mind trashing option.

This Deore stuff looks a bit elitest now

Don't worry Nobby, there is still Tourney for those folk who want to rebel against elitism.

It's nice, but having seen the latest round of Shimano price hikes I'll be buying SRAM for the forseeable future.

 Or until SRAM hikes it's prices too.

Unless SRAM are buying in Icelandic Krona then they are going to be suffering the same  as Shimano and their prices will be subject to increases too.

Check out the Fisher site - PG991 Cassettes are now £77, PC991 chains £30 & Avid Ultimates are £249 an end!

Sorry, but an XT cassette for £77 that was £35 on CRC twelve months ago is asking too much.  Even if SRAM have hiked their prices, they haven't hiked them that much.

£35 wasn't retail though.

Woollyhatshop were doing the SRAM ones for £36.99 so it's swings & rounadabouts. The hikes are on RRP & are pretty much the same across the piece.
