I'm genuinely kind of confused as to why IPS is posting such an early announcement of 4.4.  While we're all excited for the newest version (insert more gifs here), this really is premature:
1. You can't actually download unless you specifically request beta.  
2. You probably don't want to download since it's beta.  
3.  Did I mention it's still in beta yet?
5. And not even late stage beta.  This is literally beta 1 with potential breaks to global template. 
4.  But whatever.  Party on.  This is like the pre-party before the preview party before the launch party, and by the time we actually get to download 4.4 we will all be so drunk and hungover from the partying that we really won't care what version we're actually using on our live sites. 

I would only like lazy loading if it didn't distract from viewing the site. If not done properly, like what I've seen on this site so far (looking forward to trying the fix), images telegraph themselves as they pop in, making the user notice the lazy loading rather than the content on the page.
I do see your point about bandwidth usage though. That's one of the reasons why I haven't moved my site to the cloud: the bandwidth usage costs more than all the other resources combined. For now, I stick to my dedicated server that doesn't charge for bandwidth usage while simultaneously providing 25x the speed I actually need.
How did we get here, bandwidth potentially costing hundreds more per month than a physical server? I blame ISPs, but the root cause is probably capitalism.

its not quite done yet...but we are getting close to finalizing it!

I'd finally be able to purchase the IPS Copyright removal.

If I won $1,000,000 Linvision bucks, I would:
- buy a plane ticket for @Morrigan so we could go shoe shopping.  There is an amazing premium outlet mall near me with a fine selection of men and women's shoes.  Also, good men's dress shoes cost a small fortune so I'm allocating half my money to shoes.  
- Apple Hermes-edition Watches for the entire IPS team.  So when I yell at them about not building me a mobile app, I can now ping their phone, wrist, and monitor.  Also, it's an inspiration for furure development of IPS to display on wearables once they're done with the mobile app.  
- an IPS-themed coffee mug
- an IPS-themed mousepad that's Charles-sized 
- a regular 20 oz. cup since I don't actually drink coffee, but I do make lots of smoothies 
- buy @Mark for a day since he's cute.  But if he turns out to be boring and only talk about work, I might throw a rubicks cube at him
- a rubicks cube
- one of those fun outings in Napa Valley where you make your own wine.  I don't actually drink, but if I were to get drunk, it would be fitting to get drunk on the power from stomping on thousands of helpless grapes.  I'm sure there's an analogy in here about overzealous forum administration.  
- a dedicated IP for Sendgrid. Haha yeah right, I'm too cheap for that.  Let me stay with my free plan on Sparkpost.  
- an overnight stay in the snow igloo of Finland's Lucky Ranch.  Because freezing yourself in the dead of winter, lost in the wilderness, is kind of like a metaphysical representation of being a solo admin, except we do it every night.  By choice.  
- to ride on the back of a Galapagos turtle.  Something about climate change ruining the worlds environment, so one last joyride during my lifetime would be nice.  
- buy a pet Koala.  They're lazy, fat, eat eucalyptus leaves all day, and sleep for the rest.  And even though they're cute, they're a reminder of what #lifegoals shouldnt be, even when you have a millionaire sugar daddy.
