And in general I agree, it is needed for consumer acceptance, since DMs do not like to deny players options, more so in the modern era. A third party might be able to market a setting with a stripped back ruleset.I agree that it would looke different, but I am not sure about "completely". I think that  depends on the distance one is looking at the setting from. From where I am, not ever having used Ebberon, the core identifying elements of Ebberon are; Magic teck, post WWI vibe, big multinational organisations, organised international travel. I am not sure how any of this would be different under a 5e launch. The difference, I  would see, would probably races, the mechanical expression of Dragonmarks and the like.On the other hand, a new setting that added to the mechanics of 5e would be worth seeing.</blockquote>
