Cristian,
As stated previously, I have great admiration for Christine and consider the vast majority of her work to have been wonderful. In my opinion, she didn't put a foot wrong until 1982. I haven't enjoyed a lot of her material since then but I still think she is capable of making a contribution to both Fleetwood Mac and music in general.
Whilst I am pleased she was not an active participant of this album, it is reassuring to hear her unmistakeable backing vocals and piano on "Steal Your Heart Away". I would have liked her to have featured on "Thrown Down" (instead of those wretched, insipid hired backing vocalists) and would dearly love her to play on "Goodbye Baby" but we have to respect her choice to bow out of the rock game at this stage of her life.
That said, I am sure there will be more than just a little sprinkling of Christine's magic throughout the album - I would be very surprised if she didn't feature on "Bleed To Love Her" and maybe one or two others.
