First half of features already realized, second half will be realized in next 6 years 
Today I think about not "Karma function for all parts" but (after experience with Karma in Korg M3-73) "Arranger styles factory loaded in Karma combi at next Korg music workstation". Steven Kay recently said on the Karma forums that he will not turn KARMA in an arranger or even will consider to make a GE that can be programmed like a normal arranger track.
why ?
Because most professional musicians still look down uppon arranger functions and they stay away from it as if an arranger was a dissease.
But he would not mind and personally even enjoy to build KARMA intoo the next series of Korg PA arrangers so KARMA could be used in addition to the arranger or in combination/paralel with it.
Next to that, i personally think not many of your wishes from 6 years ago where implemented in todays arrangers....
Tough i must agree that we both are in line with our expectations from the TOTL arranger.
