That's very possible. His comment could mean basically anything, but "a plugin to make 5e like 4e" is higher on the list than a lot of things.I think people are getting thrown off by the C&T reference. I'm pretty sure it's calling out the modularity of C&T (which was also an addon book to the core game, and was made up of optional rules that could be integrated but didn't have to be), not the specific 2e based rules.
I'm just already quite skeptical about the tactical module, so reference to a terrible (in my opinion) old tactical module inspires further skepticism. I should probably clarify that I'm not skeptical about their ability as designers as a whole. The story system could easily be great and the downtime system isn't easy to get right, but can be done, for example.
It's more that I can't see a way forward to a good tactical game from what they have in front of us. Maybe they'll shock me. I hope so, because otherwise this edition transition is going to be a mess.
Cheers!
