Please re-read my message above. This was one person assuming 80% of 'their' plugins 'may' be 😄 

With regards the other questions, its much better to wait until there is more released and the authors themselves state what can and cannot be achieved before going down that route.

Regardless of the percentage that is actual or perceived (unless it's 0% being lost), the questions still remain.  They are important questions from both a client and Marketplace developer perspective.  What is the roadmap of the IPS suite and developer toolkit relative to these questions?  IPS is developing the suite, the Marketplace devs are just adopting it with whatever tooling they are provided by IPS.  IPS knows whether Marketplace devs will be able to achieve the same things (even if it is in a different way/method).

So regarding this assumed 80% of plugins being lost, the main questions I have are:

1. Can similar results (i.e. a client wants X added/enhanced to any part of the suite) be achieved with whatever IPS is developing for v5?  Maybe in a different way, but the same end result/solution for a client?
2. If so, will the solutions be Marketplace sellable assets for developers?
3. If not, how does IPS plan on addressing this clear gap in providing functionality to clients that Marketplace devs previously filled in v4?

I can't imagine IPS removing the ability for devs to enhance the IPS suite in ways that IPS isn't willing to invest in doing themselves.  That would be detrimental to all parties involved.  And history (per the number of Marketplace assets) shows there are A LOT of assets/resources clients want and use that aren't part of the suite.
