That, plus support of Modules, Forgotten Realms support, and adventures, should give enough material for a couple of years.Then do the Splatbooks, dividing them thematically, and expanding the classes in both the Core and the Expanded Core. By deferring these a few years, they give themselves the opportunity to give the line a shot in the arm as it starts to flag.Again, the Splatbooks, additional Monster Manuals, support of a second setting, and more adventures should between them provide enough products for another couple of years.And once you move beyond that, it's not unreasonable to start doing more experimental material - the 5e equivalent of "Book of 9 Swords", or whatever. But at that point, they're likely to be looking towards 6e anyway.</blockquote>
