no, 4.4 might include thunar, but it is unlikely that thunar will support desktop icons at that stage. 4.4 will include xfdesktop as it is right now (most likely without major changes).

well, I'm not even sure about this - but I think xfmedia even has a menu where you can select to play 'DVD/CD' without ever having to remember that the vpath is something obscure like dvd://

no, even developers would like to have desktop icons. Some may not but the generally accepted idea is that people want desktop icons and Xfce is missing it - this is why it is being worked on.
