Possibly, but you need to bear in mind WotC's specific business. Even if demand for 4E is constant over the next 10 years, they simply do not need the same number of man-hours to maintain the edition as they did to design it in the first place. Designing and developing a new edition is a huge investment and requires a lot of man-hours. Designing supplements for an existing edition is far less intensive.

I have played 4E. And just like all other editions of D&D, it is awesome!

For some reason, this doesn't fill me with rage. I must be interwebbing wrong. - Cadfan
