Why would you do that? You've got edition X already. If you switch to 5E, it's going to be because 5E offers you something that edition X doesn't--which means that you don't want it to play just like edition X.I would be much more interested in an "Unearthed Arcana 5E" book, which presents an array of options for customizing 5E in wild and out-of-the-box ways, and doesn't attempt to group them by edition. Let us, the players and DMs, be the judges of which elements of each edition appeal to us. While they're at it, they could throw in ideas that have never been present in the printed rules of any D&D edition*. E6 rules! Vitality/wound points! Something that does what skill challenges tried to do, but actually works without the DM having to build a ton of stuff on top of the basic system!Beyond that, I think they can and will profitably occupy the first couple of years just filling in all the usual gaps. Monster books, setting books, Manual of the Planes, PHB supplements with the classes that didn't make the cut for PHB1, et cetera, et cetera. But I do hope they're more adventurous in terms of providing optional rules and variants. [SIZE=-2]*As far as I know. Now that I've said this, somebody is going to point out that in the Dragon Magazine Director's Cut, cuneiform edition, all of these things are presented as official rules for D&D 1.5E.[/SIZE]</blockquote>
