Keyword arguments are not that important. They're a very nice feature but most of the benefits it will bring could be emulated easily using hashes (not telling you anything you didn't already know I guess).
It's nice to see that we won't have to rely on smart hacks though and that real keyword arguments are now available, but it's nowhere near earth-shattering.
As for refinements, it's theoretically a very nice feature, but it seems that the details are still hazy and the green-ness of the feature raises more eyebrows than it solves problems.
