It will be craftable

Yes. YES!

Granted, they'll probably get themselves killed before you can get very many at a time, but it's still a good start.

Notch is putting a lot of adventure stuff from 1.9 in 1.10.

Let me summarize:

Typical ain't it? I dunno but the adventure update has now turned into a few patches. The sooner the full release comes and modding is made easier the better.

Jeb just pre released 1.9.

Wait.. wha? Fuuuuudge! Now all my work on that rocky badlands will be wasted! And for what? Another update!

[SP2]

What's new in the 1.9 prerelease?

[jaxy15]

Villagers, nether ruins, "fire", a new nether mob, lava slimes, which are also a nether mob, mooshrooms, and uhh, I don't know.

[timferius]

Wait, "fire"?. As compared to normal fire?

Netherrack fences?

Sweet, now I can keep those pesky kids outta my garden. WITH FIRE.

Via Reddit:

Listing of new features in the 1.9 prerelease. So far:
Nether specific:
Nether blocks: Nether brick, Nether Fence, Nether Stairs
Nether brick is flammable, it will stay on fire regular than a regular stone block but not indefinitely like Netherrack. Nether fences cannot be lit on fire.
Nether Terrain Features: Strongholds & bridges of Nether brick (can be MASSIVE complexes) http://i.imgur.com/DMso1.jpg
Blaze- Nether mob, A sort of Fire Elemental that comes from spawners and shoots fireballs http://i.imgur.com/U94ZX.jpg
Magma Cube- Nether mob, look like a slime but upon jump they uncoil like a spring http://imgur.com/a/4Wdoo
Nether items: Blaze Rod (dropped by new mob), Nether Wart (new crop) , Ghast Tear, Gold Nuggets (dropped by zombie pigmen)(put 9 of them together to craft into a gold bar)
Farm-able Nether crop (Nether Warts), only plantable on soul sand.
Ghast fireballs do not damage new Nether materials. (might be bug?)
Other features:
Swamps: darker colored water and lily pads
NPCs in villages, one main model with different colors for different "jobs." Pics here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Minecraft/comments/knx1o/minecraft_19_pre_out/c2lrg2m
Red flowers and Snow Biomes are back!
Mushroom Biome! purple tinted grass and large mushrooms growing
"Mooshroom" cows appear in Mushroom biome, can be sheared to get mushrooms and then turn into regular cows
Snow "Golem"- can be crafted by placing two snow blocks vertically on the ground, and then placing a pumpkin head on top of them.
Rain is re-textured.
Water and Lava leak through adjacent blocks.
Chests now make no sound at all.
Holding space no longer allows sustained jumping; must tap jump key for each jump.
Bug Related:
FIXED- Stair lighting issues
Experience bar changes every time the player jumps (Jeb tweeted that it's not a bug, it "is to test SMP exp orbs... "
Swamp water and regular water appearing side by side for bad visuals.
Reports of a lot of players having major FPS problems
Bow appears to have extra-long melee range?
Swamp Grass blocks have improper grass coloring on their sides.
Shearing "Mooshroom" cows gives the "getting wood" achievement
Shift clicking items when you craft doesn't add anything to your stats
Disclosure: all of this information is coming from comments posted here and pictures in r/minecraft/new. Give others the credit for discovering all this not me!

I'd like for them to revisit the Stronghold code and make them less destructed.  I don't think I've found a stronghold that's not swiss-cheesed by mine shafts, gorges, or natural caves.  I imagine the Nether Ruins will be plagued by the same events.

[Micro102]

Wish there was a way to implement only part of the patch. I don't want to lose sustained jump.
