Blizzcon is over, so Karune has started his "job" again (that we thank him this way too), so he grabbed up some new information from Dustin, and released
Q&A Batch 45. The full article can be found
in the official (new) battle.net forums, but let's see some hightlights:
Chat with the devs section:The Hallucination changed, even units you don't have prerequisite for can be hallucinated:
Karune wrote:Hallucination
The first topic was about hallucination, a classic Protoss ability, that honestly did not get that much use in the original StarCraft.

Q&A section:6 really good questions and answers from several fansites and forum activists. One of them:

No, allies can’t share Nydus networks between networks, but allied units can enter into another ally’s Nydus network.
Extra section called Weekly Blue Roundup:Karune has collected his answers to the fans' latest questions on the forum, and has made an extra long q&a batch of them. Check it out!

I don't see why not?

That, sir, is a good question. It wasn't mentioned on the list of units that you cannot hallucinate, but it could still be there.
