Let's also not forget that this also means that ugly junction box that you strap or hang on the front of your bike goes the way of the dodo birds. I like the idea of Di2 but when it comes to my aero needs, that box is just horrid. I'll take the mechanical setup with is much cleaner in the front end and wait on the wireless option to come along. Hopefully manufacturers (directly or 3rd party) will make silicone plugs for the wire holes in our frames (fingers crossed) to contribute to the all round "cleanliness" of the bike.
Also the idea of swapping FD and RD batteries is great! that would definitely at least save you while on the road. I want to know what the AG2R mechanics think of the system. If it's performing under the pros one has to assume it's getting close to a final product. Teams wouldn't risk failures and losses for the sake of product development would they?
