I imagine the reason WotC hasn't rushed to replace this product is because they have discarded the barest pretense that standard D&D is European fantasy. Instead, "oriental" materials appear in regional sourcebooks appropriate for certain archetypes, new base classes pop up in splatbooks, and the Book of Nine Swords covers wild kung fu.
Really, it's silly to think "Oriental," covering a large percentage of inhabited Earth, and about three thousand years of history and myth, is something you can condense into a "generic" sourcebook. The original OA for AD&D was oriental and for D&D, but did not purport to cover all Asian-inspired fantasy, simply to offer one representation of it.
I would like to see Kara-Tur material again.
