According to Mearls in other posts, this was also prepped as possibly the last version of D&D that would ever exist, and not because it was evergreen...because Hasbro was considering maybe the game was approaching defunctness from their POV. And in fact, all that was really said in Mearls' posts, "Wow, we designed it thinking this, and people played it this way." Hilariously, it ended up being the most successful version of the game of all time. Also, the issues that people had started to see also started to be corrected in different ways through a new version of the game, and multiple third parties.</p></blockquote><p></p>
