I personally would find it very hard to continue writing Sage Advice for 3.5. I wonder if it is for Andy.
I'll admit that I'm easily distracted by new and shiny, and understand that there is probably a significant minority of D&D players who have no plans to switch to 4th Edition, at least any time soon.
In the software business, you don't just release a new version and abandon customers who are still using the prior version, you continue to fix bugs in prior releases for some period of time. I get that.
But still, especially given how many 3.5 "bugs" are fixed in 4th edition, it must be really hard to write Sage Advice, or for WotC Customer Service to continue answering questions that are moot in 4th Edition.
Yes, I know 3.5 is not officially obsolete. But in my world, it is. All my 3.5 books are soon to be just "collector's items," with the exception of my Eberron books which are useful primarily for their fluff.
