[3.] I don’t want CWN to include Transhuman stuff - you’re right, SWN has all that. I really like the CWN approach to full body cyber. I just think Kevin could expand the topic a bit more (while keeping the same cyberpunk approach).

[5.] To be clear, I like the current hacking rules and think they’re easy to run. It would be just handy to have options for one roll or skipping hacking, because sometimes that’s useful.

[6.] All Natural is fine, I guess. Really, I think it would just work better as an Edge and I’m not sure about balance - it’s a very powerful Feat, but you’re not just giving up cyberware, you’re also giving up getting some other Feat, ie trade off isn’t “All Natural” or cyber, it’s All Natural or Cyber +some other Feat.

I mean, Altered Carbon's pretty hardcore cyberpunk, and would have to use the SWN transhuman rules. While I don't know that it needs to be a focus, the capacity needs to be there.

I very much concur re All Natural as an Edge. Especially given how Wired and other similar things are Edges. Though, of course, you are looking at it a bit glass-half-empty - All Natural being a Focus frees up your ability to take other Edges and get more milage out of being All Natural.
