No: We are just going to use the OpenCascade kernel to access CAD 
representations--nothing will change in our GUI, graphics, etc. And 
OpenCascade will be optional: just like Gmsh supports optional external 
mesh generators (Triangle, Netgen, Tetgen), it will support an optional 
external CAD engine.

Not yet, but most of the architecture work is done.
