Hello everybody...
It seems to me that nothing can hurt the D&D experience. If people don't like a new edition, their favorite iteration can never be "un-published". Moreover, I don't understand worries about missing out on new supplements, because it seems most new material is a reformulation of prior material, cast into slightly new lights. The exceptions are notable, like Planescape, Spelljammer, or Eberron. Maybe new editions strike fear into the heart of the collector?
If can't imagine going on forever with a single edition and not running out of truly unique ideas. There must be a point of diminishing returns, where it's necessary to start from point A again, both from a business model and to provide a fresh canvas with which creative types can work, bringing the old back to life again.
...just rambling....
