Decrease dead ends in huge caves

First off, I want to say the Mojang has and is doing a phenomenal job on minecraft as a whole. Checking out the underground of the new snapshot, it still felt empty shape-wise (I know biomes themselves are WIP). We were shown these huge systems you could fly through large distances with. They do exist, but they're very rare. Otherwise sometimes there are large flat rooms that don't branch off very far or connect elsewhere. Those large rooms don't currently recreate the endless winding cave experience I felt when normally caving, as the big caves very often just end after the big room.

My suggestion is to have all large caves branch and connect to each other somehow.

    I feel like that would almost make caving too easy, but I might be wrong.

    Well, I'm pretty sure that the old cave generation is supposed to fulfill this purpose (connecting caves to make systems). However, the old cave generation currently doesn't generate at negative y levels, and since all noise caves above y 31 are flooded they cannot connect to those either (though the caves being flooded is a bug). But I agree that there's a problem with dead ends.
