At the same time I'm not so confident the resting system will be overhauled but if that's what ends happening then I'll be happy.
There's nothing to "overhaul" there - the bloody thing ain't ready yet, that's clear as a day.
No, they won't let you pop long rest after every silly 3 goblins or 4 gnolls encounter, unless it will be a story mode difficulty. How exactly they limit it, now that's a better question and I hope they will figure out a good solution there.
