I am wary of them releasing too much too fast. If we end up with a book a month club, there may not be enough demand to keep standards high or make it worth the money from WotC's standpoint. I would like to see refreshes of major campaign settings, but I would like them more focused on the story information, like the guides that came with Murder in Baldur's Gate and Legacy of the Crystal Shard. For stuff like Spelljammer (which I think a future campaign of mine will be loosely based on), I would like to see the extra mechanics/crunchy bits rolled into the core rules as much as possible. If that had been done in 2e, I think it would have made a 5e home conversion more feasible using the 2e setting books.
I guess I am saying that I would like my campaign setting books as rules agnostic as possible. I want to know about the people and places and stuff necessary to make this a living, breathing world.
Obviously, you cannot do that with everything. Setting specific creatures, magic items, etc. need stats. Spaceships need movement rules, but if there are already ship based movement rules in the PHB or DMG, they would need less adaptation for 3 dimensional movement than if everything had to be spelled out.
