How many SH3 modders will we lose after SH4 is released?

This is kind of a dumb question, but I was wondering how many SH3 modders we might lose after SH4 is released? I say this because I have noticed quite a few modders are saying things like 'final version', 'no more SH3 modding for me', etc. I will probably retire from SH3 modding and move on to modding SH4 after it's released. I think that SH3 modding is starting to hit a brick wall due to so much of the game still being hard-coded. The modders have done just about all they could under these circumstances. I feel that we are finally reaching the limits of SH3 modding. The only way I will continue to mod SH3 after SH4 is released is if the SH3 SDK is released. That is the only way I'll come back to SH3. And to be honest, I am just burned out with modding SH3. So many important things are still hard-coded. I am just tired of it all. And I'm pretty sure that once SH4 is released, there won't be too many more new SH3 mods released... unless SH4 is a major flop due to being unfinished, major bugs, etc. How does everyone else feel about this topic?
