Like I did.

I should have been more clear. All of the OGL settings/games spawned by 3.5 will be left in the dust. They won't make the jump to the new gaming license unless a D&D/WoW style Epic experience is somehow shoe-horned in. In this regard, I see this a D&D 4.0 as an effort to go back to the core business of WotC/Hasbro and dump the legacy gamers who aren't playing D&D or find that the new set-up, while fine for D&D/WoW style level grinds and those who don't mind getting game-related subscription models. This won't necessarily please the rest. In this case, D&D 4 will see a few survivors left bobbing in the water--hopefully BRP can extend a life preserver and welcome them aboard.
Of course, it's anyone's guess now. We won't know for sure, but its incumbent on BRP to at least have a system ready with settings and scenarios ready-to-go in order to capture this slice of the market.
