Actually, the newly ascended to management Mike Mearls indicated a new direction for D&D in the year in review podcast. Perhaps the "cut" books didn't fit in with his vision for post 2010 D&D.

While we're making predictions, I predict that a new line of releases in 2011 will put an emphasis on live action play and that 5e will be LARPG.
There is a thread that EN World's (new?) forum software will not actually allow me to link to... it is located on the WOTC D&D forum, 4e General Discussion... it is called "Class Compendium cancelled?". According to post #204, an unsourced report by some forum member, the Class Compendium and the Mordenkainen's yadda-yadda have been delayed until Summer 2011. This information is said to come from a WOTC employee.
Sadly, as I said, EN World isn't allowing the link, apparently.
It may or may not be the case, obviously. But there's at least a possibility that we'll be seeing these books this summer.

I find all the breast tearing and ullullations of fandom amusing actually. While WotC forges ahead and moves from strength to strength with perhaps a clumsy placement of a foot now and then people gnash their teeth and tear their hair out while wildly decrying the horror of it all. lol.
Basically they've advanced D&D more in the last 2.5 years than it has advanced in the 20 years before that, created an online toolset, modernized their online community, created a mass market edition of the game that is actually rules compatible with what was in use already, put in place a whole DDE thing, and all the while churning out books at a rate almost unheard of except in a few brief periods of the heyday of the game, and quality books at that.
Yeah, WotC are a whole ship of fools. Directionless, badly lead, unable to execute, hopeless really!

Thanks for posting that! That's good news to me. I don't mind a delay for the books as long as they are, in fact, coming. I wouldn't be happy if they were delayed for a year, but a quarter and a half isn't terrible. (Plus, it'll save me some money so soon after the holidays, so I really can't complain there!)

I am skeptical as to how reliable the information is from someone who can't spell/doesn't know "Mordenkainen."Kedrith at the Link said:
--but hopeful nonetheless. Those two books are on my "Want" list.
I really hope this is the case. I am loving the new digest-sized books and the lower price-tag. I hope they are taking time to convert the layout of some of their previously announced releases.
