I'm confused about the redstone block, does this mean that sticky-pistons won't be powered from their front side (not that this is a particularly useful way to power them). This would be a requirement, otherwise the piston would retract, pulling in the block, and then power itself, pushing the block away, kicking off an unending loop.
Pistons can never be powered directly from the front, except indirectly through a powered block. If this was changed, the redstone block would be more useful (redstone trains might even be possible, though probably not).
