I bet it will be more like the PF Game mastery Guides: this is where all the optional rules go.

Could be more like a deep dive on how to run games too. Immediately actionable advice, maybe. I hope so anyway.

I still prefer that games have solid starter sets and rulebooks not be written for novices. Obviously that probably isn't the most profitable route, but I feel like you don't need "newbie stuff" for very long and the value of rulebooks aimed at newcomers drops rapidly.

It's cheaper then hiring GMs to run open games that teach people how to play???

I wouldn't count a starter set out yet. Could still be one in the works. Though being so close to 5e they do benefit from what WotC has done, even just recently.
