In all seriousness, I would totally get behind a 4e Mystara setting. I think it's a great gameworld, and the whole Hollow Earth deal adds to the awesome. It's a setting that's lay fallow for far too long.
I'm only worried that it might not have as much traction as even a niche setting like Dark Sun would.
Still, a 4e Tortle race would ROCK

Dude WoTC doing something that makes you irate (or at least post in all caps) seems to be about as hard as finding a kid wearing black eyeliner in hot topic...

Hey now, I wasn't irate at all about anything they did regarding Eberron. Usually I just laffo over their customer service blowouts and that's that. Most of their stuff these days just doesn't effect me.
Only things that made me irate of recent times were 1) telling me my pdfs were badwrong to have, and 2) driving a wrecking ball through FR.
Driving a wrecking ball through Dark Sun would have me significantly more irate then the FR problem ;p

I keep on seeing stuff like this about Dark Sun, and it puzzles the heck out of me. I treasure my original Dark Sun boxed set. That setting didn't last long though - TSR already drove a wrecking ball through setting with the whole Prism Pentad foofaraw. It's the prime example of a setting which was utterly changed by canon advancement.
If WotC changes the hell out of Dark Sun again, I hardly think it can do more harm to the setting's "integrity."
Also, seriously, my original Dark Sun boxed set is still around and I can still caress it lovingly and keep it at the foot of my bed and even play D&D using it. If worse comes to worst and I don't like the setting changes, I can always do what I did with the the post-Pentad 2e sourcebooks: steal the crunch from any hypothetical 4e Dark Sun and use it to run a Dark Sun game in the original setting.

This.
I will add that I see very little in 4E that would not fit perfectly well in the Dark Sun setting. Paladins aren't bound by the paladin code any more, so they no longer clash horribly with Dark Sun's gritty survivalist atmosphere. Stripping out gods from 4E is the easiest thing in the world - it's just a handful of feats, people! Most of the PHB and PHB2 races require only moderate fluff tweaks, certainly no more than was done in the original DS boxed set. (I mean, look at the difference between the fat hobbity halflings of standard 2E and the tribal cannibal halflings of Athas.)
Now, if you want 4E Dark Sun to be an exact copy of 2E Dark Sun, with nothing added and nothing taken away... well, then, yeah, you're gonna be disappointed, but in that case why do you care what WotC does? You already have the Dark Sun set you want; it's sitting there on your shelf in an 18-year-old cardboard box.

A 4e Tortle race would rock in general. Attached to a specific setting or not!
