" COMMENTS, PROFILE, MESSAGE WALL AND FORUMS WILL BE RETIRED " Is there a link / thread / page relating to the Message Wal and Comments Retirement ? Yes. Here.

And a sample page showing what will replace it ?

We do not have any sample yet.

I'm also taken aback by the "Message Wall" retirement since some users do not want to share e-mail and communicate via the semi-private Message Wall There are always the old "User Talk" format.

I am a bit surprised since the Wiki I contribute to is 9095% Comment based Well yeah. It's easier to talk than do stuff.

the current "Discussions" option not that easy to work and only used by a very small subset of the Community I do agree that the discussion board feels very separated from the wiki.

Am I to conclude that the new UCP will have no User-to-User messaging feature ? No. There will be such feature, but it is yet to be known.
