So maybe FR gets the whole set, but the Nentar Vale setting only gets access to the Elemental Chaos, but not to the Border and Pure Elemental Planes. Maybe another setting gets access to the Border Planes, but access to the Elemental Chaos and Pure plans are blocked off. Maybe like Darksun all the regular plans are cut off and as such it evovled its own planes, the black and the grey. And its likely the same idea will be applied to the outer planes. I love the expanded cosmology, because it allows us to enjoy the best parts of all the cosmologies, and it adds nee stuff to explore, like the new border planes which no doubt draw upon the success of the Feywild and Shadowfell, which have also become border planes. He doesn't suggest, but I wonder if the outer planes will have border planes or something else that unites the editions the way they did for the Inner Planes? Perhaps we will have the Astral Plane which will have the Astral Sea, with domains and demiplanes bobbing in it, with the Astral Plane leading to the Outer Planes. But again maybe one can't access the Outer Planes from Ebberron, maybe only as far as the Astral Sea with its domains, or something more Ebberonish, with the Outer Planes mystically blocked, and difficult aor nearly impossible to access from Ebberon. Just a guess. Oh and the DMG will have alternate cosmologies and tips for creating your own. I don't remember where I heard thjs, but I am positive that it will.</blockquote>
