Given all of the other D20 games supported here, I suspect the conversion will not be huge. Probably just changing some formulas for grappling bonuses, addition or removal of skills, feats, and powers, that kind of thing. Licensing could be yet another issue, of course. *sigh* Most likely a different license entirely. Which sheds new light in some ways on how GR has given such free reign for all of the supplement material to be available in one package. If they were planning on releasing a new edition, there's no need to hoard the existing material for the old edition.
I reserve opinion until I see the new edition, of course. I'm hoping that the changes will be minor enough that we could even apply an "import 2E character" option that would take the existing stats and do the mechanical conversions such that we get the bare-bones character even if they points aren't quite right at first due to cost changes.
