How that is achieved mechanically will be interesting. I still think the intake valve will be eliminated in new engines and all air pushed through with fuel premixed.

Based on how diesels ignite their fuel, that's not a viable option. In a compression ignition engine you can't inject the fuel until right when you're ready to light it, so at least most of the air already needs to be in there and compressed.
