Are they planning on implementing portals in Org and SW; if not do you intend to keep Dalaran as your hearthstone after reaching 85?

Please do not add any portals.
This is a MMORPG and let the player travel between maps.
Joining any event(arena, bg, dungeon, raid)while you are jumping on Orgrimmar Bank is not cool. That's not Modern Warfare Game, select server and start headshotz!
Couldn't care either way because my main is a mage.
Thanks for the info
For the record, I am against adding new portals. I'm tired of people just porting around bypassing which could turn to some world PvP action; except on my mage, that shit is a necessity
Edit, after having thought about this a little more, I think blizz should remove most of the portals in Dalaran and Shattrath, leaving only Org and SW

How do you know there won't be any new portals?
As far as I know there is a portal from SW to the Exodar in the beta (can't check I'm not in beta), which however only exist for the duration of the beta. I wouldn't mind it staying though, the Exodar is to nice a place to be empty like this, same goes for Darnassus.
Traveling is tedious, especially if all you want to do is instance content. Also, if you can't easily travel been hub cities, why have them? I'm not going to cities that add 15-30 minutes of travel time to content that I need to get to.
The problem with Darn, for example, was always that it wasn't near anything. The only time I ever went there was on my druid who needed to get to EK to keep leveling.
My theory is that if I can't log in and start playing through some fun content in under 15 minutes, there's a problem. Also, having to specifically travel 15-30 minutes across the world to log out in the "right" place is also a problem. Every city should have portals so that I can quickly move between them in order to get to the right place. Remember, you still need a couple of people at an instance to summon and I've found that people play a game of chicken when going to an instance ... basically, if you wait long enough, someone else will give in and go.
There should be some balance between convenience and catering to downright laziness.
The entire point of the game is the "world", but an increasing number of players who are spoilt by portals and summons kick up such a stink when they have to spend more than 2 minutes travelling.
Travelling to darnassus is tedious yes I will agree, but that does not mean there is a necessity for an easy transport to every single location.
Portals in every city are unecessary, but maybe 10 mins travelling between two is about the longest it should take, short of afk's where you might miss a boat or something.
There will be portals to the new zones from within Org/SW.
You've got a pretty exaggerated sense of the amount of time it takes to go places in the game. For example, it's five minutes TOPS from Orgrimmar to Undercity, thanks to zepplins. Thunderbluff is a little bit longer, but with flying mounts allowing you to no longer have to wait for a zepplin, is also five minutes tops, if that.
People cry about stuff taking 15-20 minutes when in reality it doesn't take anywhere near that long, especially not so when we can use flying mounts in old world.
