I'm perfectly happy. What need to be upgraded?

Nothing, probably.

But call it the D7000. To be announced in August -- two years after the
D90 was announced. Add a movie mode. Different sensor. Flip/tilt LCD.
It won't have anything you can't live without.

I agree. D7000 with something resembling the sensor from the D300s.

And the timing is right.

Guaranteed.

P&S don't hold any magic for macros, you can always stop down a DSLR for
exactly the same DOF.

The story about the pro faking EXIF is obviously a fantasy, as is the
trademark delusional gloating.
