Hopefully Sj will take some time to focus on a GURPS 5e. The game needs a modernized, stream-lined edition and SJG should make plenty of $$$ with a new version of the industry's most versatile system. The recent pointless toolkit supplement hints at an opportunity to shift the system.

They just released a Revised 4th edition with minimal changes, so the chances of a 5th edition coming any time soon is slim to none.
