Have you seen what WoTC is Doing ?

Hey Hey;
I was at my comic shop yesterday and it seems WoTC is now releasing adventures for e3.5, e4.0, and DnDNext all in the same module! What you do it, buy the module, go to their web site to register it and then all the monsters and traps download in a PDF (I assume) to run the adventure for the desired edition. I don't know if you have to pay for every edition you download. So basically you buy the story and battlemaps at the store and download the appropriate edition content later from the internet.
I, personally, think it's an AWESOME idea! New adventures for any edition! But it left me with some questions...
1. I wonder if by doing this WoTC is quietly saying "sorry about 4th ed"... my paraphrasing
2. What about all those 3.5 licences that publishers threw away to publish for 4th ed.... Does this mean that GG couldn't do the same thing? Or is WoTC the only ones allowed to publish 3.5ed now? If that's the case then that's kinda a dirty move on thier part.
Anyways...opinions? Thoughts?
Thanks
Doc
