New Neutral City?

Didn't find this topic via search, so I'm curious if it's been asked or if Blizzard has mentioned it yet...
Will there be a new neutral city in Cataclysm, ala Shattrath or Dalaran? Granted, there's no immediate location I can think of to place a neutral city and it doesn't strike me as something obviously needed this time around. Still, I can think of some creative ways Blizzard could introduce one.
So, any official word out yet, or at least any speculation?

So then will my hearth remain in Dalaran, or will there be portals to all the major cities in Deepholm including a portal from there to Dalaran?

One thing that was mentioned was that, from Deepholm, you'd be able to access the other new upper-level expansion zones. They did not specifically mention access to capital cities in any panel at which I was in attendance.

Interesting. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to keeping my hearth set to Dalaran - hopefully enough people will change theirs to help alleviate lag. :)

The problem is that to attract any amount of people, the city in question needs something new to make it seem like a viable alternative to Dalaran (Go to any major city, middle of Northrend which is Prime Questing zone, good faction). Therefore, the only real place you could put a city according to what we've heard so far is underwater. And maybe that would be the primary hub of submarines, underwater transport akin to ships and zeppelins. But it would need something more, and they dont want to get repetitive. I'm happy in Dalaran, being able to travel to any questing zone level 1-30 (general area, sw is close to stv and whatnot) and 60-80 in one room.
Deepholm is nice, but im not switching from dalaran until level 85 and full w/e instances there are going to be.

I thought that underwater city would be the neutral one
The city is actually an entire zone, a massive underwater area with the city itself in the center of the zone.

Aside from the achievements that Elks mentioned, I'd be happy to have no more neutral cities. My processor couldn't take it at times.
It could be said that half the amount goes to Orgrimmar now, and it'd still be a tad full, but let's not forget that the old world holds importance for max lvl players again, and you can use your flying mount there, so all players will be distributed around all major cities, causing less overheating of da processor. How lovely.
p.s. Yes yes, quit yapping. I'll clean the dust from my fans... sometime...
