I suspect that 5E will designed such that it has within it the specific mods and apps available to select to basically MATCH current 4E (for those who want it).  So those playing 4E can basically migrate to 5E with no real change to their game except for some probably basic changes to powers/feats that you'd see with any errata update... and perhaps some math corrections to the base game that would just allow the 4E DMs to remove the Expertise and NAD feats if desired and allow their players to choose some new ones.The new game would just though also include the mods and apps that allow you to broaden or tighten your game and campaign as desired.  So you can remove miniatures if you like, remove skills and skill challenges, remove feats, go back to Vancian use, high amounts of magic items, low amounts of magic items, change healing formats etc. etc. etc.</blockquote>
