Lead Encounter Designer Ion "Watcher" Hazzikostas was tweeting today about the potential, initially brought up at BlizzCon, for flexible raids, which will be normal and heroic next tier, to extend to 40 players.
.@Suzushiiro We're looking at a 30 top end to accommodate existing 25s social structures. But no promises. Performance may be prohibitive.

Personally, it doesn't seem like something that appeals to me. The difficulty of managing a 25-man raid, which is already something many people cite for why they're harder, is great enough without adding another 15. While 30, to accommodate the bench, is great, there's not a need for 10 more, in my opinion. And the couple of 40-man raids I've done have quickly devolved into chaos. So I'm not fussed, but what about you? And it's worth noting that I only started in TBC...
