I'm interested in the specifics of leaving the current Raid gear out of the equation.
Exotics should not be the only weapons/armor that should be able to be upgraded. Raid gear needs to be included in that.
I've spent quite a bit of time in the VoG, I like the way the VoG Raid armor looks, and I love my Vision of Confluence and Praedyth's Revenge. I worked hard and ground out hours upon hours to not only get them, but to upgrade them as well.
Now I'm told that after only three months, they're going to be effectively obsolete?
Bungie, do you know how much of your glitchy crap I had to put up with in the Vault of Glass to get that Facade of the Hezen Lords? Not to mention the countless wipes and hours to complete the armor set (which still isn't complete as I cannot get the Treads of the Hezen Lords...)?
Raid gear needs to be allowed to upgrade as well.

Some people are speculating that they will include a new set of raid gear for the vault of glass upon the launch of the DLC, but that would probably mean having to suffer the RNG to get this new gear. It would seem rather than learn from the examples of previous games with raids, (MMOs such as WoW and Everquest) they wanted to make the same blunders for themselves. I guess I'll have to squeeze what enjoyment I can out of my gear now before it becomes invalidated next week.
